Gene duplication and adaptive evolution of digestive proteases in Drosophila arizonae female reproductive tracts.
It frequently has been postulated that intersexual coevolution between the male ejaculate and the female reproductive tract is a driving force in the rapid evolution of reproductive proteins. The dearth of research on female tracts, however, presents a major obstacle to empirical tests of this hypot...
