While most animals reproduce sexually, some species rely solely on females for parthenogenetic reproduction. Even in these species, rare males occasionally appear. Whether these males retain ...

A new UC Davis study reveals previously unknown cell types in the female reproductive tract of Drosophila fruit flies. The knowledge could help in studies of fertility in general, and in managing ...

With temperatures creeping up as the climate warms, those very hungry caterpillars could get even hungrier, and more abundant. Crop losses to pests may grow. Insects will be “eating more of our lunch, ...
