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
Sperm storage by spermatodoses in the spermatheca of Trioza alacris (Flor, 1861) hemiptera, psylloidea, triozidae: a structural and ultrastructural study.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the term ‘spermatodose’ should be used to refer to sperm masses constructed in the female reproductive organs, at least when they involve the contribution of female secretion.
Book ChapterDOI
Who’s Zooming Who? Seminal Fluids and Cryptic Female Choice in Diptera
TL;DR: Assessing what is known and as yet unknown about the interface between CFC and Sfps and suggesting avenues for further research in this fascinating area of Dipteran females suggests their involvement in common functional pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
The morphogenesis of spermathecae and spermathecal glands in Drosophila melanogaster.
TL;DR: A novel finding is the presence of an extracellular reservoir in the basal support cell that is continuous with the secretory cell reservoir.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Fine Structure of the Spermatheca in Anopheles aquasalis (Diptera: Culicidae)
TL;DR: Understanding the spermathecal organization and function will contribute to understand details of mosquito reproductive biology, and help answer questions related to the reproductive success of these major vectors of pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
A newly discovered sperm transport system in the female of Lygaeidae bugs.
TL;DR: This new information provides a clearer understanding of sperm transport in the female reproductive system of Lygaeidae bugs, and helps to clarify the path of the male organ during copulation, as well as the movement of sperm during egg laying.

TL;DR: The gametes, fertilization and early embryogenesis the reproductive systems - the female, the male the pituitary and the hypothalmus, and the reproductive processes and their control.
BookDOI
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.
Book
Histological and Histochemical Methods: Theory and Practice
TL;DR: This text presents the chemical and physical principles of fixation, staining and histochemistry, and offers a practical guide to the preparation of specimens for light microscopy and includes detailed practical instructions of the techniques used.
