What we got wrong about mosquito mating—researchers explain why females are in charge
The female mosquito only mates once in her lifetime, and yet she can develop many hundreds of eggs from this single event.
Female mosquitoes control mating through subtle genital movements, determining if and when copulation occurs—a key factor in their reproductive success and the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. doi.org/g98bcr

Sexual selection and speciation: a meta-analysis of comparative studies
Abstract. Understanding the drivers of biodiversity is a central goal in evolutionary biology. In particular, sexual selection has long been proposed as a
Does #SexualSelection fuel #Speciation?
Our new #meta-analysis of comparative studies finds support for a positive relationship, but the rather moderate global effect suggests it’s not necessarily a dominant force.

Although it was more work, involving the CURE students in this paper was a lot of fun for me. I *love* research, and being able to share a project with students from start to finish was such a rewarding extension of my teaching.

Harini then drafted the paper, with CURE students contributing to the revising and editing. As part of the course, these students had already entered, processed, and analyzed the data and wrote a scientific paper about the project. These students are all listed as coauthors for their contributions.

After the course ended, the undergrad TA for the course, Harini Shankar, took over this project (while *also* completing a senior thesis in my lab), and we replicated each experiment in our research lab to ensure the results held. Again, exposure to rivals did not affect male mate choice.
