The lock and key system that we discovered evolves rapidly in the wild because of the species that cheat it (thank you 𝘈𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘣𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘴) - and creates a rich model for understanding how to encode a recognition system, adapt it when under pressure, and generally:
how to change a nervous system.

A rapidly evolving female-controlled lock-and-key mechanism determines Aedes mosquito mating success
Houri-Zeevi et al. uncover a lock-and-key mating system in mosquitoes, where females
control mating through genital responses to rapidly evolving male structures. Males
