  1. ncbi Seminal fluid protein allocation and male reproductive success
    Stuart Wigby
    Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, University College London, Darwin Building, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK
    Curr Biol 19:751-7. 2009
    ..Our results show that quantitative variation in specific Sfps is likely to play an important role in postcopulatory sexual selection and that investment in Sfp production is essential for male fitness in a competitive environment...
  2. ncbi Insulin signalling regulates remating in female Drosophila
    Stuart Wigby
    Institute of Healthy Ageing and, Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, University College London, UK
    Proc Biol Sci 278:424-31. 2011
    ..However, overexpression of the IIS-regulated transcription factor dFOXO in the fat body-which extends lifespan-does not affect remating rate. Thus, long life and reduced remating are not obligatorily coupled...
  3. ncbi Feeding, fecundity and lifespan in female Drosophila melanogaster
    Andrew I Barnes
    Research Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment, University College London, Darwin Building, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK
    Proc Biol Sci 275:1675-83. 2008
    ..We conclude that female mating costs are not the result of over-feeding, but may be due to other, potentially more direct, effects of ejaculate molecules...
  4. ncbi Sex peptide causes mating costs in female Drosophila melanogaster
    Stuart Wigby
    Department of Biology, University College London, Darwin Building, Gower Street, London, WC1E 6BT, United Kingdom
    Curr Biol 15:316-21. 2005
    ..Hence, rather than benefiting both sexes, receipt of SP decreases female fitness, making SP the first identified gene that is likely to play a central role in sexual conflict...

    Stuart Wigby
    Department of Biology, UCL, Darwin Building, London, UK
    J Insect Physiol 54:414-20. 2008
    ..Thus, assays that involve piercing, which are commonly used in immunity studies, can mask more subtle and biologically relevant changes in immunity, such as those induced by mating...
  7. ncbi Mating and immunity in invertebrates
    Mara K N Lawniczak
    Department of Biology, Darwin Building, University College London, London, WC1E 6BT, UK
    Trends Ecol Evol 22:48-55. 2007
    ..We find little evidence for a consensus regarding which theories best account for the accumulating empirical data. However, we suggest that progress can quickly be made by exploiting the intrinsic strengths of invertebrate model systems...

    Stuart Wigby
    Department of Biology, University College London, Darwin Building, Gower Street, London, WC1E 6BT, United Kingdom
    Evolution 58:1028-37. 2004
    ..Differences between males in female harming ability were not detected. This suggests that the response in females was to differences between selection treatments in mating frequency, and not to differences in male harmfulness...
