McCullough E, Whittington E, Singh A, Pitnick S, Wolfner M, Dorus S
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2022 Mar;
119(11):e2119899119.
PMID: 35254899
SignificanceIn species with internal fertilization, sperm spend an important part of their lives within the female. To examine the life history of the sperm during this time, we used semiquantitative...

McDonough-Goldstein C, Whittington E, McCullough E, Buel S, Erdman S, Pitnick S, et al.
Mol Cell Proteomics
. 2021 Oct;
20:100156.
PMID: 34597791
Fertility depends on the progression of complex and coordinated postmating processes within the extracellular environment of the female reproductive tract (FRT). Molecular interactions between ejaculate and FRT proteins regulate many...

McCullough E, Verdeflor L, Weinsztok A, Wiles J, Dorus S
Am Biol Teach
. 2021 Jul;
82(5):333-337.
PMID: 34305148
Evolution explains both the unity and the diversity of all organisms, and developing students' ability to represent and communicate evolutionary relationships is an important component of a complete biology education....

McCullough E, McDonough C, Pitnick S, Dorus S
Proc Biol Sci
. 2020 Jun;
287(1929):20201030.
PMID: 32576111
Fertility depends, in part, on interactions between male and female reproductive proteins inside the female reproductive tract (FRT) that mediate postmating changes in female behaviour, morphology, and physiology. Coevolution between...

McCullough E, Buzatto B, Simmons L
Evolution
. 2018 Feb;
72(4):893-905.
PMID: 29455461
When females mate with more than one male, sexual selection acts both before and after mating. The interaction between pre- and postmating episodes of selection is expected to be context...

McCullough E, Buzatto B, Simmons L
Mol Ecol
. 2017 Apr;
26(13):3546-3555.
PMID: 28370584
When females mate with multiple males, they set the stage for postcopulatory sexual selection via sperm competition and/or cryptic female choice. Surprisingly little is known about the rates of multiple...

McCullough E, Miller C, Emlen D
Trends Ecol Evol
. 2016 Aug;
31(10):742-751.
PMID: 27475833
The elaboration and diversification of sexually selected weapons remain poorly understood. We argue that progress in this topic has been hindered by a strong bias in sexual selection research, and...

McCullough E, Tobalske B, Emlen D
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2014 Sep;
111(40):14484-8.
PMID: 25201949
The shapes of sexually selected weapons differ widely among species, but the drivers of this diversity remain poorly understood. Existing explanations suggest weapon shapes reflect structural adaptations to different fighting...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2014 May;
281(1786).
PMID: 24827447
The horns of giant rhinoceros beetles are a classic example of the elaborate morphologies that can result from sexual selection. Theory predicts that sexual traits will evolve to be increasingly...

Proc Biol Sci
. 2013 Mar;
280(1758):20130197.
PMID: 23486444
Sexually selected ornaments and weapons are among nature's most extravagant morphologies. Both ornaments and weapons improve a male's reproductive success; yet, unlike ornaments that need only attract females, weapons must...
