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
The internal female genitalia of Aulacigaster (Diptera: Aulacigastridae)—description and phylogenetic analysis
Marion Kotrba,Alessandra Rung +1 more
TL;DR: Information extracted from the internal female genitalia corroborates and adds resolution to the results of previous analyses that employed characters of the external morphology and the male terminalia and is used to reconstruct ancestral character states and to discuss intrafamilial character state changes at and above the species group level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postcopulatory Behavior of Tephritid Flies.
TL;DR: The effects of male copulatory behavior; copula duration; and the male ejaculate, sperm, and accessory gland products on female remating behavior in tephritid flies are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology Of The Spermatheca Of Several Species Of Dysmachus (Diptera: Asilidae) From Turkey: A Scanning Electron Microscope Study, Second Part
TL;DR: The spermathecae of four species of the asilid genus Dysmachus were studied with both light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to find out how the ejection apparatus controls the passage of spermatozoa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrastructure of the female reproductive organs of the diving beetle Deronectes moestus incospectus (Leprieur, 1876) (Dytiscidae, Hydroporinae).
TL;DR: The ultrastructure of the female reproductive organs of Deronectes moestus (Dytiscidae Hydroporinae) is described in this paper , where the spermathecal duct has a simple epithelium lined internally by a thin cuticle and externally by a thick layer of muscle cells.

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.
