A revised terminology for male genitalia in Hymenoptera (Insecta), with a special emphasis on Ichneumonoidea. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Applying consistent terminology for morphological traits across different taxa is a highly pertinent task in the study of morphology and evolution. Different terminologies for the same traits can generate bias in phylogeny and prevent correct homology ...

Aesthetic surgery of the male genitalia. [PDF]
Semin Plast Surg, 2011 Appearance of the male genitalia is linked with self-esteem and sexual identity. Aesthetic surgery of the male genitalia serves to correct perceived deficiencies as well as physical deformities, which may cause psychological distress. Attention to patient motivation for surgery and to surgical technique is key to achieving optimal results.

Identification key to the Anopheles mosquitoes of South America (Diptera: Culicidae). III. Male genitalia. [PDF]
Parasit Vectors, 2020 Accurate identification of the species of Anopheles Meigen, 1818 requires careful examination of all life stages. However, morphological characters, especially those of the females and fourth-instar larvae, show some degree of polymorphism and overlap ...

Female genitalia can evolve more rapidly and divergently than male genitalia. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 Male genitalia exhibit patterns of divergent evolution driven by sexual selection. In contrast, for many taxonomic groups, female genitalia are relatively uniform and their patterns of evolution remain largely unexplored.

Insulin-insensitivity of male genitalia maintains reproductive success in Drosophila. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2019 For most arthropod species, male genital size is relatively implastic in response to variation in developmental nutrition, such that the genitals in large well-fed males are similar in size to those in small poorly-fed males.

Proper direction of male genitalia is prerequisite for copulation in Drosophila, implying cooperative evolution between genitalia rotation and mating behavior. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Animal morphology and behavior often appear to evolve cooperatively. However, it is difficult to assess how strictly these two traits depend on each other.

Adolescent male genitalia dissatisfaction: a surgical perspective. [PDF]
Asian J Androl, 2022 Genital dissatisfaction is well known in female and adults. Less is known about male adolescents and their genital satisfaction. The aim of this study was to investigate and report the role of surgery in male adolescents to improve the evaluation of their genitalia.

The macroevolution of size and complexity in insect male genitalia. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 The evolution of insect male genitalia has received much attention, but there is still a lack of data on the macroevolutionary origin of its extraordinary variation.

Musculature of the male genitalia in Rivellia (Diptera: Platystomatidae). [PDF]
Zookeys, 2015 The musculature of male genitalia was studied hitherto only in two species of Tephritidae, one species of Platystomatidae, one species of Pallopteridae, and three species of Ulidiidae of the superfamily Tephritoidea.
