Sperm can “age” independently of the male, when stored in male or female reproductive tracts. Our meta-analysis finds widespread evidence across animals (including abstinence in men). Important consequences for fertility, sexual selection, haploid selection!

Early-life conditions can leave long-lasting marks on how animals develop and perform. Using GPS and accelerometer data from 35 juvenile golden #eagles, this #RSOS study shows that more active nestlings fledged earlier, remained more active after leaving the nest: doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Hot new study out as a preprint on @ecoevorxiv.bsky.social
We investigated the effect of developmental heat stress on a whole spectrum of traits in a subtropical/tropical species, highlighting the importance of studying heat stress beyond short-term heatwaves 🔆

Garlic is not a substance that most people consider an aphrodisiac. It turns out that mosquitoes agree. In fact, a new Yale study finds that garlic also functions as a de facto birth control for mosquitoes and other winged insects, an insight that could lead to eco-friendly pest control strategies.
