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
Effect of male accessory gland extracts on female oviposition and sexual receptivity of the Caribbean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae).
TL;DR: The results suggest that oviposition and receptivity inhibition in A. suspensa are not mediated by male-derived humoral factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology of ovary and spermathecae of the parasitoid Eibesfeldtphora tonhascai Brown (Diptera: Phoridae).
Cliver Fernandes Farder-Gomes,Helen Cristina Pinto Santos,Marco Antonio de Oliveira,José Cola Zanuncio,José Eduardo Serrão +4 more
TL;DR: This is the first report of the ovary and spermatheca morphology of E. tonhascai and contributes to the comprehension of the reproductive biology of this parasitoid of leaf-cutting ants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sperm storage patterns in doubly mated female Anastrepha suspensa (Diptera: Tephritidae).
TL;DR: The data provide a mechanism for second male precedence without invoking sperm competition, and caution that paternity patterns must be critically interpreted with inclusion of information on sperm storage patterns.
Morphological characterization of the reproductive System of Irradiated Anastrepha fraterculus
TL;DR: The possibility to differentiate irradiated flies from non-irradiated ones after the latter begin the process of sexual maturation is demonstrated and compared with that of fertile flies in order to provide a diagnosis tool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolating, Amplifying and Quantifying Sperm DNA in Anastrepha suspensa (Diptera: Tephritidae)
TL;DR: The protocol described in this study enable the localization, identification and quantification of sperm from multiple males stored in female sperm storage organs and, therefore, generates data that can augment interpretations of paternity outcomes.

The Physiology of Reproduction
Ernst Knobil,J. D. Neill +1 more
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.
