Females also produce reproductive-tract secretions, yet their contributions to postmating physiology are poorly understood.

In addition to the premating behavior, certain candidate genes also affect several postmating responses.

The evolution of intrinsic postmating isolation has received much attention, both historically and in recent studies of speciation genes.
