TL;DR: It is suggested that nonfertilizing sperm may be used to delay female remating in these insects and decrease the risk of sperm competition rather than directly affect its outcome.

TL;DR: The authors examined the molecular evolution of Z chromosomes in two additional lepidopteran species, the Carolina sphinx moth and the monarch butterfly, and found evidence for both faster and more adaptive Z chromosome evolution in both species, though this effect is strongest in the neo-Z portion of the monarch sex chromosome.

TL;DR: The majority of patients with HIV and KADs admitted to the ICU had well controlled HIV and additional KAD were diagnosed during ICU admission in a proportion of patients who presented with presumed KICS.

TL;DR: Investigation of the distribution of fitness effects of new non-synonymous mutations in monarch sperm confirms stronger selection on sperm proteins in monarchs, with very few neutral variants and weakly deleterious variants and a preponderance of strongly deleteriously variants.
