Evolutionary rate covariation identifies new members of a protein network required for Drosophila melanogaster female post-mating responses.
Seminal fluid proteins transferred from males to females during copulation are required for full fertility and can exert dramatic effects on female physiology and behavior. In Drosophila melanogaster, the seminal protein sex peptide (SP) affects mated females by increasing egg production and decreas...
