On the effect specificity of accessory gland products transferred by the love-dart of land snails. [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2016 Background: Sexual selection favours the evolution of male bioactive substances transferred during mating to enhance male reproductive success by affecting female physiology. These effects are mainly well documented for separate-sexed species.
