Possible differences in effects on ejaculate morphology between shape and size components of the intromittent membranous part of insect male genitalia: Phylogenetic comparative analyses in Carabidae
Male genitalia exhibit extreme morphological diversity among animals, but its diversification mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In insects, the intromittent membranous part has been barely studied. This study performed phylogenetic comparative analysis to examine the morphological association...
