Sperm competition and its evolutionary consequences in the insects

TL;DR: In this article, Simpson et al. describe a method to solve the problem of homonymity in Bee W l d 34, 14) and show that it works well in beekeeping.

The evolution of polyandry : multiple mating and female fitness in insects

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 122 experimental studies addressing the direct effects of multiple mating on female fitness in insects shows that females gain directly from multiple matings in terms of increased lifetime offspring production, and supports the existence of an intermediate optimal female mating rate.

Sperm Competition Games: Raffles and Roles

TL;DR: Evolutionary games in which two males mate with the same female are examined by using an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) approach, which depends critically on the information available to the two competitors, and whether they occupy roles (of first or second to mate) randomly or non-randomly.

Tokens of love: functions and regulation of Drosophila male accessory gland products.

TL;DR: These studies provide excellent models to address basic questions in cell biology such as the control of genes in response to sex-specific, mating-regulated and cell type-specific cues and the function and targeting of peptide hormones.
