Ultrastructure of the reproductive system of the house dust mitesDermatophagoides farinae andD. pteronyssinus (Acari,Pyroglyphidae) with remarks on spermatogenesis and oogenesis

Several parts of the reproductive system of both sexes ofDermatophagoides farinae andD. pteronyssinus are investigated and compared by light-, scanning electron-, and transmission electron microscopy. New techniques have been employed for scanning of the internal structures of these mites. The male reproductive system consists of unpaired testis, paired vasa deferentia, an accessory gland, ejaculatory duct, and copulatory organ. The female reproductive system consists of bursa copulatrix, ductus bursae, receptaculum seminis, paired ducti receptaculi, ovaries, oviducts, one chorion gland, ovipositor, and oviporus. Testis as well as ovaries are characterized by syncytia of nutritional function. The specifics of spermatogenesis are discussed in connection with sperm transfer. Similarities between the construction of the ovaries and oogenesis in astigmatic mites and telotrophic meroistic ovaries in insects are discussed.     

Ultrastructural Morphology of the Male and Female Genital Tracts of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Psoroptes</Emphasis> spp. (Acari: Astigmata: Psoroptidae)

The structure of the male and female genital systems of the astigmatid mite Psoroptes ovis (Hering) is described. The male genital system is composed of a paired testis, fused at its proximal part, two vasa deferentia, an ejaculatory duct, into which a single accessory gland opens, and a copulatory organ. The testis is characterized by a peripheric syncytial cell surrounding spermatogonia, spermatocytes, spermatids and spermatozoa which are distributed regularly in the gonad according to the sequence of spermatogenesis. The female genital system consists of a copulatory pore (the bursa copulatrix), a seminal receptacle, paired ovaries and oviducts, a glandular uterus and an ovipositor which leads to the oviporus. Ovaries are composed of somatic cells, germ cells and a central cell, with a multilobular nucleus, connected to oocytes by a stalk. Similarities with other astigmatic mites belonging to Psoroptidia and Acaridia are also discussed.

Sperm competition and the evolution of male reproductive anatomy in rodents

Sperm competition is a pervasive selective force in evolution, shaping reproductive anatomy, physiology and behaviour. Here, we present comparative evidence that varying sperm competition levels account for variation in the male reproductive anatomy of rodents, the largest and most diverse mammalian order. We focus on the sperm-producing testes and the accessory reproductive glands, which produce the seminal fluid fraction of the ejaculate. We demonstrate a positive association between relative testis size and the prevalence of within-litter multiple paternity, consistent with previous analyses in which relative testis size has been found to correlate with sperm competition levels inferred from social organization and mating systems. We further demonstrate an association between sperm competition level and the relative size of at least two accessory reproductive glands: the seminal vesicles and anterior prostate. The size of the major product of these glands-the copulatory plug-is also found to vary with sperm competition level. Our findings thus suggest that selection for larger plugs under sperm competition may explain variation in accessory gland size, and highlight the need to consider both sperm and non-sperm components of the male ejaculate in the context of post-copulatory sexual selection.     

Anatomy and ultrastructure of the reproductive systems ofAcarus siro (Acari: Acaridae)

Anatomy and ultrastructure of the female and male reproductive system inAcarus siro L. were investigated by light and electron microscopy. The female system consists of paired ovaries of nutrimentary type in which oogonia and oocytes are connected by bridges with a large central cell. The oviducts empty into the uterus, which passes into preoviporal duct lined bycuticle, and opening as a longitudinal slit (oviporus). An elongated accessory gland composed of one type of secretory cell is located along each oviduct. The copulatory opening occurs at the posterior margin of the body and leads, via the inseminatory canal, to the receptaculum seminis, consisting of the basal and saccular part. Both inseminatory canal and basal part of receptaculum seminis are lined by cuticle, whereas the wall of the sac is formed by cells covered only by long, numerous microvilli. The basal part of the receptaculum seminis joins the ovaries via two lumenless transitory cones.The male reproductive system contains paired testes, in which spermatogonia tightly surround the central cell. The proximal part of the paired vasa deferentia serves as a sperm reservoir, while the distal one has a glandular character. An unpaired, cuticle-lined ejaculatory duct opens into the apex of the aedeagus. The single accessory gland is located asymmetrically at the level of, or slightly posterior to, coxae IV.The structure of the genital papillae, which are topographically related to the genital opening in both sexes, is also briefly described.     

Female mating receptivity inhibited by injection of male-derived extracts in Callosobruchus chinensis

The effects of male-derived extracts on female receptivity to remating were investigated in Callosobruchus chinensis (Coleoptera: Bruchidae). Injection of aqueous extracts of male reproductive tracts into the abdomen of females reduced receptivity. When aqueous extracts of male reproductive tracts were divided to three molecular weight (MW) fractions by ultrafiltration: <3, 3-14, and >14 kDa, the filtrate containing MW substances <3 kDa reduced female receptivity 3h and 1 day after injection, whereas the fraction containing MW substances >14 kDa inhibited receptivity 2 and 4 days after injection. Finally, male reproductive tract organs were divided into accessory gland, seminal vesicle, and testis. Aqueous extracts of testis reduced receptivity of females on the second day and at 3h, and aqueous extracts of accessory gland reduced receptivity of females on the second day after injection. On the other hand, aqueous extracts of seminal vesicle did not reduce female receptivity. The results indicate that more than one mechanism may be involved in producing the effects of male-derived substances on female receptivity; low MW male-derived substances, which possibly exist in testis, cause short-term inhibition, while high MW substances, which possibly exist in the accessory gland, inhibit female mating later than low MW substances in C. chinensis.     

Copulation anatomy of Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae): wound-making organs and their possible roles

Males of several insect species inflict wounds on female genitalia during copulation. Such copulatory wounding also occurs in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster Meigen, 1830, one of the most important model organisms. Using a flash fixation technique with mating pairs of D. melanogaster, I examined the use and functions of the male phallic organ within the female reproductive tract. Paired components of the phallic organ (gonopods and two pairs of branches of the basal processes of the aedeagus) opened sequentially, from outer to inner components, during copulation. The dorsal branches of the aedeagal basal processes pierced the intima of the female reproductive tract at the lateral shallow folds. Consequently, mated females usually had a pair of melanized patches from repaired copulatory wounds. The sites that were stabbed by the dorsal branches were also clutched on the outside of the female oviscape (ovipositor) by the posterior process, which is a component of the periphallic organ. These structures likely function together as a mate-holding device. Male ejaculate labeled with rhodamine-B fluorescent dye entered the copulatory wounds in D. eugracilis Bock and Wheeler (Univ Texas Publ 7213:1–102, 1972), a related species, but not in D. melanogaster. Thus, copulatory wounds may function as an entrance for male seminal chemicals into the female circulatory system in D. eugracilis, but might not in D. melanogaster.
