Frequent origins of traumatic insemination involve convergent shifts in sperm and genital morphology
Traumatic insemination is a mating behavior during which the (sperm) donor uses a
traumatic intromittent organ to inject an ejaculate through the epidermis of the (sperm) …

Support for a radiation of free-living flatworms in the African Great Lakes region and the description of five new Macrostomum species
JN Brand - Frontiers in Zoology, 2023 - Springer
Abstract Background The African Great Lakes have long been recognized as an excellent
location to study speciation. Most famously, cichlid fishes have radiated in Lake Tanganyika …

Mating behavior and reproductive morphology predict macroevolution of sex allocation in hermaphroditic flatworms
Background Sex allocation is the distribution of resources to male or female reproduction. In
hermaphrodites, this concerns an individual's resource allocation to, for example, the …
