• Experimentally induced spermatophore production and immune responses reveal a trade-off in crickets (2010, background): “In G. sigillatus, as in many other species of ensiferan Orthoptera, such gifts come in the form of a spermatophylax, a large, gelatinous, non–sperm-containing component of the 2-part spermatophore transferred by the male at mating and consumed by the female after copulation (Vahed 1998).”
• The Evolution of Animal Nuptial Gifts (2012, background): “For example, in many crickets and katydids (Orthoptera: Ensifera), the male spermatophylax has a sticky, gelatinous consistency that prevents rapid ingestion by females (Vahed, 2007).”
