Molecular characterization of firefly nuptial gifts: a multi-omics approach sheds light on postcopulatory sexual selection
Postcopulatory sexual selection is recognized as a key driver of reproductive trait evolution, including the machinery required to produce endogenous nuptial gifts. Despite the importance of such gifts, the molecular composition of the non-gametic components of male ejaculates and their interactions...
