A Peptide Signaling System that Rapidly Enforces Paternity in the Aedes aegypti Mosquito (Current Biology)
 


Duvall et al. describe a rapidly acting peptide and cognate receptor system that acts to enforce paternity in the Aedes aegypti mosquito within 1 hr of copulation. HP-I peptide is transferred from males to females, where it acts on its receptor, NPYLR1. Understanding paternity enforcement is key for vector control and interspecies competition.
