Structural variation in Drosophila melanogaster spermathecal ducts and its association with sperm competition dynamics
The ability of female insects to retain and use sperm for days, months, or even years after mating requires specialized storage organs in the reproductive tract. In most orders, these organs include a pair of sclerotized capsules known as spermathecae. Here, we report that some Drosophila melanogast...
