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 hypothesis. Here, we employ a comparative EST approach to identify 241 candidate female reproductive p...

The coevolution of female mate preferences and exaggerated male traits is a fundamental prediction of many sexual selection models, but has largely defied testing due to the challenges of quantifying the sensory and cognitive bases of female preferences. We overcome this difficulty by focusing on postcopulatory sexual selection, where readily quantifiable female reproductive tract structures ar...

non–hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) causes many deaths worldwide with increasing incidence. non-hodgkin's lymphoma (nhl) may involve the gynecologic tract, and the ovary to be one of the commoner anatomic sites as reported. ovarian involvement by nhl is usually secondary, occurring as a part of systemic disease. the diagnosis is often made incidentally while investigating for gynecological symptoms. we ...
