Abstract:"Male Drosophila manipulate the sexual behaviour of their female mating partners by release of a Sex-peptide, but how does this work? A G-protein-coupled receptor has now been identified which acts in the female flies to detect male Sex-peptide and trigger increased egg laying and reduced sexual receptivity"
