Insect seminal fluid proteins: identification and function.
TL;DR: Recent identification of insect SFPs is reviewed and the multiple roles these proteins play in the postmating processes of female insects are discussed.

Drosophila neuropeptides in regulation of physiology and behavior
Dick R. Nässel,Åsa M. E. Winther +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of the physiological and behavioral roles of peptide signaling in Drosophila include regulation of development, growth, feeding, metabolism, reproduction, homeostasis, and longevity, as well as neuromodulation in learning and memory, olfaction and locomotor control.

TL;DR: A relatively high proportion of SRR genes have experienced accelerated divergence throughout the genus Drosophila, and several testis-specific genes, male seminal fluid proteins (SFPs), and spermatogenesis genes show lineage-specific bursts of accelerated evolution and positive selection.

Immunity in a variable world.
Brian P. Lazzaro,Tom J. Little +1 more
TL;DR: The aim is to describe how environmental and genetic heterogeneities, often excluded from experimentation as ‘noise’, may determine the evolutionary potential of populations or the potential for interacting species to coevolve.

Reproduction–Immunity Trade-Offs in Insects
TL;DR: The role of juvenile hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone, and insulin/insulin-like growth factor-like signaling in regulating both oogenesis and immune system activity is examined, and a signaling network that may mechanistically regulate the trade-off is proposed.

Statistical significance for genomewide studies
John D. Storey,Robert Tibshirani +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes an approach to measuring statistical significance in genomewide studies based on the concept of the false discovery rate, which offers a sensible balance between the number of true and false positives that is automatically calibrated and easily interpreted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying biological themes within lists of genes with EASE
TL;DR: EASE is a customizable software application for rapid biological interpretation of gene lists that result from the analysis of microarray, proteomics, SAGE and other high-throughput genomic data and is robust to varying methods of normalization, intensity calculation and statistical selection of genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rapid evolution of reproductive proteins.
TL;DR: Sequence comparisons and functional studies are beginning to show the extent to which the rapid divergence of reproductive proteins is involved in the speciation process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect P450 enzymes.
TL;DR: Polymorphisms in induction or constitutive expression allow insects to scan their P450 gene repertoire for the appropriate response to chemical insults, and these evolutionary pressures in turn maintain P450 diversity.

Male accessory gland secretions: modulators of female reproductive physiology and behavior.
TL;DR: Secretions of male accessory glands contain a variety of bioactive molecules that exert wide-ranging effects on female reproductive activity and they improve the male's chances of siring a significant proportion of the female's offspring.
