Abstract: In most cases, proteins affect the phenotype of the individual in which they are produced. However, in some cases, proteins have evolved in such a way that they are able to influence the phenotype of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/imb.12271
Abstract: The seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus is a significant agricultural pest and increasingly studied model of sexual conflict. Males possess genital spines that increase the transfer of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) into the female body. As… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/imb.12746
Abstract: While the striking effects of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) on females are fairly conserved among Diptera, most SFPs lack detectable homologues among the SFP repertoires of phylogenetically distant species. How such a rapidly changing proteome… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13070623
Abstract: Simple Summary The functions of organ systems must be coordinated for physiological homeostasis to occur. For example, after mating, coordination between insect digestive and reproductive systems is needed to ensure adequate nutrition for efficient egg/progeny… read more here.
