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:

Two-dimensional versus three-dimensional morphometry of monogenoidean sclerites
Paolo Galli,Giovanni Strona,Anna Villa,Francesca Benzoni,Fabrizio Stefani,Silvia Maria Doglia,Delane C. Kritsky +6 more
TL;DR: A new method of three-dimensional (3-D) analysis of sclerotised structures of monogenoids was performed by processing z-series images using 3D-Doctor, demonstrating that 3-D morphometry allowed avoidance of over-estimation due to deformation and the reduction of errors associated with different spatial orientations.

Isolating Spermathecae and Determining Mating Status of Drosophila suzukii: A Protocol for Tissue Dissection and Its Applications
TL;DR: A step-by-step protocol for tissue dissection, isolating spermathecae, and determining the mating status of females was developed specifically for D. suzukii and demonstrated applicability for both field collected flies and flies reared in the lab, including fly specimens stored on a long-term basis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copula Duration, Insemination, and Sperm Allocation in Anastrepha ludens (Diptera: Tephritidae)
TL;DR: Examination of the ventral receptacle rather than the spermathecae alone is the more reliable method for determining mated status in Anastrepha ludens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm storage is not subject to cephalic control in the caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa.
TL;DR: The near autonomy of the abdominal ganglion’s role in any female mediated effects on sperm storage, and the effect of female decapitation on copulation duration, and quantity and distribution of sperm in the four storage organs, are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Morphology and Histology of The Female Reproductive System of Graphosoma lineatum (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) based on light and scanning electron microscope studies
TL;DR: The female reproductive morphology and histology of Graphosoma lineatum (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) was examined by light and scanning electron microscopy and found that the female had a pair of ovaries, each with 7 meroistic telotrophic ovarioles, a Pair of lateral oviducts, a common Oviduct, a spermatheca, accessory glands and a genital chamber.

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.
