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:

Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae) Sperm From Females in Traps: The Importance of the Ventral Receptacle.
TL;DR: It is proposed that if no sperm are found in the spermathecae, program managers should revise the ventral receptacle before assuming that females are not mated, and this test may be relevant to other pest tephritids that store even more sperm in the ventrals receptacle than C. capitata.

Sperm Depletion in Singly Mated Females of the Mexican Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)1
TL;DR: Sperm depletion and egg fertility in singly mated females with continuous access to oviposition substrates are measured by using a squash technique and mirrored previous measurements of egg fertility, which declines at 26–40 d postcopulation.

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.
