Reproductive functions and genetic architecture of the seminal fluid and sperm proteomes of the mosquito Aedes aegypti
Ethan C. Degner,Yasir H. Ahmed-Braimah,Kirill Borziak,Mariana F. Wolfner,Laura C. Harrington,Steve Dorus +5 more
TL;DR: This study provides a comprehensive proteomic and transcriptomic characterization of ejaculate production and composition and thus provides a foundation for future investigations of Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abstracts of the Fifth International Symposium on Molecular Insect Science: May 20–24, 2006, Tucson, Arizona USA, Organizing Committee
Michael E. Adams,Giovanni Bosco,David L. Denlinger,Tarlochan S. Dhadialla,Linda M. Field,John G. Hildebrand,Anthony A. James,Michael R. Kanost,Nancy A. Moran,Alexander S. Raikhel,David B. Sattelle,Nicholas J. Strausfeld,Judith H. Willis,Mariana F. Wolfner +13 more
TL;DR: This work presents vitellogenesis in Dipetalogaster maxima, a vector of Chagas’ disease, and its role in the development of chagas' disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corrigendum. Heritable Variation in Courtship Patterns in Drosophila melanogaster.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that courtship is a highly dynamic behavior with both social and genetic inputs, and that males may play an important role in courtship initiation and duration.

Female genetic contributions to sperm competition in Drosophila melanogaster
Dawn S Chen,Sofie Y. N. Delbare,Simone L White,Jessica L. Sitnik,Martik Chatterjee,Elizabeth L. DoBell,Orli D. Weiss,Andrew G. Clark,Mariana F. Wolfner +8 more
TL;DR: A functional role for the female’s nervous system is established in the process of sperm competition and the understanding of the genetic, neuronal and mechanistic basis of female responses to multiple matings is expanded.
Journal ArticleDOI
A single mating is sufficient to induce persistent reduction of immune defense in mated female Drosophila melanogaster.
TL;DR: The authors showed that a single mating event is sufficient to persistently suppress the female immune system in Drosophila melanogaster females and that a second mating, and therefore a second transfer of seminal fluids, caused deeper reduction in immune performance.
