TLDR
The independent organization of sperm storage organs, spermathecal ducts, associated musculature, gland cells, and innervation offer possible mechanisms by which sperm movement may be influenced by females.About:

Comparing the secretory pathway in honeybee venom and hypopharyngeal glands.
TL;DR: Insight is provided into the secretory pathway of arthropod gland systems by comparing the royal jelly-producing hypopharyngeal glands and the venom-producing glands of the honeybee, Apis mellifera; venom is stored in a reservoir whereas royal jelly and enzymes are produced on demand.

Morphology, Histology and Ovary Development of the Female Reproductive System of Spilostethus pandurus (Scopoli) (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae)
TL;DR: The morphology and histology of the female reproductive system of Spilostethus pandurus (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) were examined by light and scanning electron microscopy.

Spermatodesm reorganization in the spermatophore and in the spermatheca of the bushcricket Tylopsis liliifolia (Fabricius) (Orthoptera, Tettigoniidae).
TL;DR: A morpho-structural investigation was carried out on spermatophore and sper matheca of Tylopsis liliifolia and on the reorganization of the gametes from the sperMatophore, showing that the sPermatodesms undergo disorganization in the sPERmophore; unlike other Tettigoniidae, feather-shaped spermodesms are never found.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ultrastructure of sperm and female sperm storage organs in the water strider Gerris lacustris L. (Heteroptera) and a possible example of genital coevolution
TL;DR: The fine structural organization of the male and female inner reproductive apparatuses of the water-strider Gerris lacustris was studied in this paper, which suggests the occurrence of a coevolution between the sperm and the spermathecal duct lengths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of the spermathecae in four species of dysmachus (asilidae: diptera) from turkey: a scanning electron microscope study
Selami Candan,Mahmut Erbey +1 more
TL;DR: The spermathecae of four species of asilid genus Dysmachus were studied with both light and scanning electron microcopy (SEM) and it is found that the receptacular surface and the sperMathecal duct are covered by chitin layer.

Female control : sexual selection by cryptic female choice
TL;DR: A growing body of evidence has begun to reveal flaws in the traditional assumption of female passivity and lack of discrimination after copulation has begun as discussed by the authors, and evidence from various fields indicates that such selectivity by females may be the norm rather than the exception.
