Multiple mating is not driven by size and sperm management in black soldier fly (<i>Hermetia illucens</i>) Open
Black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), larvae are widely used as bioconverters of agrifood by‐products into valuable proteins for animal feed. In adults, females and males have complex reproductive tracts…

Plastic responses in sperm expenditure to sperm competition risk in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens, Diptera) males Open
In polyandrous species, competition between males for offspring paternity goes on after copulation through the competition of their ejaculates for the fertilisation of the female's oocytes. Given that males allocating more spermatozoa ofte…

Gone but not forgotten: dynamics of sperm storage and potential ejaculate digestion in the black soldier fly <i>Hermetia illucens</i> Open
Understanding the dynamics of sperm storage is essential to unravel the complexity of post-copulatory sexual selection processes in internally fertilized species. This physiological process goes from sperm transfer during copulation to its…

The reproductive tract of the black soldier fly (<i>Hermetia illucens</i>) is highly differentiated and suggests adaptations to sexual selection Open
The reproductive biology of the black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (L.) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), was investigated in males and females with a focus on how sperm is handled by males before – and by females after – copulation. As th…

Vibrations act like primer pheromones in termites Open
These data were collected on 16 colonies of the species termite Reticulitermes flavipes (column: colony_id). New reproductives were counted every day. They were recognized thanks to the elongated abdomen and color changes. The day of diffe…

How to maintain a high virulence: evolution of a killer in hosts of various susceptibilities Open
Pathogens should evolve to avirulence. However, while baculoviruses can be transmitted through direct contact, their main route of infection goes through the death and liquefaction of their caterpillar hosts and highly virulent strains sti…
