We've all heard the "rule" that evolution favors promiscuous males and choosy females. But not always! Researchers found that in black coucals (pic below, since I'd never heard of them!) females had steeper Bateman gradients than males i.e. a greater fitness gain for each additional mating partner🧪

Marine pollutants disrupt cellular energy production in seabirds

A new study showed that presence of mercury was linked to inefficient fuel use during energy production in wild birds’ cells, while certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may prevent prote...
