Journal ArticleDOI
Local adaptation of reproductive performance during thermal stress
TL;DR: Exposure to either benign or heat stress temperature during juvenile and adult stages, either independently or combined, influences egg‐to‐adult viability, adult sperm motility and fertility in high‐ and low‐latitude populations of Drosophila subobscura.
Journal ArticleDOI
The risk of sperm competition and the evolution of sperm heteromorphism.
TL;DR: Oviposition per se is probably more important than sperm in determining female receptivity and that sperm heteromorphism may play a marginal, if any, role in affecting female remating, according to research in Drosophila obscura.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex Ratio Distorter Reduces Sperm Competitive Ability in an Insect
Tom A. R. Price,Amanda Bretman,Amanda Bretman,Tomos Avent,Rhonda R. Snook,Gregory D. D. Hurst,Nina Wedell +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that SR males are very poor sperm competitors, which is partly related to transfer of fewer sperm during mating, and the reduction in sperm competitive ability is large enough to potentially stabilize the spread of sex ratio drive through populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Male attractiveness, fertility and susceptibility to oxidative stress are influenced by inbreeding in Drosophila simulans.
TL;DR: It is found that male fertility and attractiveness were especially susceptible to inbreeding depression and levels of testicular oxidative stress were significantly elevated in inbred males, although sperm viability did not differ between inbred and outbred males.
Journal ArticleDOI
The environmental genomics of metazoan thermal adaptation
TL;DR: This work considers broadly what is already known from non-NGS studies about thermal adaptation, then discusses the benefits and challenges of different NGS methodologies to add to this knowledge base, and summarises emerging patterns of genetic response.
