"Female remating is the fundamental to evolutionary biology as it determines the pattern of sexual\nselection and sexual conflict. Remating in females is an important component of Drosophila mating\nsystems because it is associated with pattern of sperm usage and sexual selection. Remating is\ncommon in females of many species of Drosophila in both natural and laboratory populations. It is\nreported in many insect species and vertebrates also. Female remating is prerequisite for the\noccurrence of sperm competition between the males and the consequences of this competition such\nas sperm precedence or sperm displacement have also been reported in many species of\nDrosophila. Female remating is dependent on the amount of sperm stored, the components of male\nseminal fluid, the level of nutrition and egg-laying, in laboratory by different experimental designs\nand density of flies. Remating by female is an insurance against male sterility and sub-fertility and\nresult in increasing the genetic heterogeneity of a female offspring. Remating results in greater\nproductivity in females of many species of Drosophila. In this paper we review the female remating\nwith respect to sperm competition and sexual selection in Drosophila and have given the possible\nfemale’s benefits of remating. We also review the role of accessory gland fluid in remating, cost\nassociated with remating and genetic basis of female remating and some possible mechanisms of\nsperm competition in the light of last male sperm priority and paternity assurance in Drosophila\nand other insects. We have also suggested the future area of research."^^ . "2002-09" . . "1" . . "Genetics and Molecular Research"^^ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "B N"^^ . "Singh"^^ . "B N Singh"^^ . . "H F"^^ .
