We’re all masturbators by evolution.

The non-masturbators died off enos ago, victims of natural selection and sperm competition.

You may not actively masturbate, but you are still a masturbator. It’s in your DNA.

Why not be the perfect masturbator that generations of your ancestors set you up to be?

Don’t let them down. Masturbate to your fullest potential!

Competing for females can damage males' DNA. Study of #SeedBeetles suggests that the increased male investment in #SpermCompetition may lead to reduced #genetic quality in future generations. Mareike Koppik @JBaur_evo @DBergerBiol #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3zviPCv

Hello Mastodon! #Introduction
We're the Wolfner lab at Cornell University (@wolfnerlab on Twitter), we use #Drosophila #genetics to study the events surrounding #fertilization and #reproduction . On the female side, we study #eggactivation and #development, and on the male side, we study #seminalproteins and #spermcompetition.
Follow along for lab news, papers, fly stuff, etc.!

#introduction I’m Anne, Professor in #neuroscience at Fribourg University. In our #Drosophila lab, we work on neuronal circuits for reproductive behavior and acoustic communication, sex differences of the nervous system and the signaling function of seminal fluid. I like #arthopods #sexualselection #matechoice #spermcompetition #microscopy and #connectomics
Used to work with #zebrafish #development #axonguidance
Also teaching and keen on #embryology and #histology for medical students...
