“After mating, fruit fly sperm are no longer fully male”

Research from Scott Pitnick, the Weeden Professor of biology in the College of Arts and Sciences, and Steve Dorus, associate professor of biology in the College of Arts and Sciences, was featured in the Cornell Chronicle story “After mating, fruit fly sperm are no longer fully male.” Their research found that fruit flies, which have been long considered exclusively male,  become partly female after mating.
