Stiffness gradient of the beetle penis facilitates propulsion in the spiraled female spermathecal duct
It is well known that sexual selection is the main driving force of substantial diversity of genitalia found in animals. However, how it facilitates the diversity is still largely unknown, because genital morpho/physical features and motions/functional morphology of the structures in sexual intercou...
