A major multi-species study by Oxford University researchers has found that sperm deteriorates rapidly in storage (in males or females), and so regular ejaculation before taking semen samples or assisted reproduction is recommended.

Nice to see our work featured in The Guardian — showing that sperm quality can decline the longer it is stored. @krishsanghvi11.bsky.social @itchyshin.bsky.social
New paper out! Great tits face distinct challenges from extreme weather during development, based on 60 years data from >83k nestlings in Wytham Woods 🐣 Cold snaps & heavy rain can stunt growth, but earlier breeding may help buffer this! By @devisatarkar.bsky.social et al.
