“…We reared the field‐derived snails under standardized laboratory conditions, in order to measure variation in SFP gene expression and their functions (Figure 1). We randomly assigned the five‐week‐old snails of each family to either a paired or a grouped treatment, as social conditions are potential factors to alter SFP gene expression (Nakadera, Giannakara, & Ramm, 2019; Ramm et al., 2015). To do so, we put together, respectively, either two or five snails from the same family into a container (150 × 90 × 80 mm) to rear them together until they became fully matured.…”

“…For running qPCR, we followed the protocol published in Nakadera et al. (2019). In brief, we extracted total RNA from prostate glands, using TRI reagent (Sigma) and RQ1 DNase (Promega).…”

“…A common approach is to investigate gene expression changes in SFP-producing tissues. While such studies have revealed an effect of the social environment in some insects (2527), molluscs (28), and flatworms (29), they assume that changes in SFP gene expression correspond to changes in SFP transfer to females. This assumption is undermined by extensive evidence that ready-produced sperm and SFPs can be differentially transferred across matings (30, 31).…”

“…Insect, avian, and mammalian seminal fluid proteomes are known to be diverse, containing hundreds or even thousands of different proteins (3537). Whether SFPs should respond uniformly is unclear, but gene expression and proteomics studies of insect, mollusc, flatworm, and mammalian seminal fluid-contributing tissues suggest that different proteins may respond differently to competition (25, 28, 29, 38).…”
