#Aridity modulates #grassland biomass responses to combined #drought and soil nutrient addition 🌿 .
See our latest advances published in Nature #Ecology & Evolution, in which we have seen that #fertilization mitigates the effects of drought more effectively in arid grasslands, while its effects are reduced in humid regions or on nitrogen-rich soils.

#LiberatedFromFB #sperm #egg #fertilization #compatibility #mybodymychoice #storytelling <--- important!
For years, we’ve heard it told like a high-stakes race — millions of sperm, racing through the reproductive system like Olympic swimmers, all in a desperate dash to be the first to reach the egg.
The fittest wins.
The prize? Fertilization.
Cue the heroic soundtrack.
But that tale?
It’s mostly myth, deeply rooted in a male-centric view of reproduction.
Thanks to a 2020 study, we now know the egg isn't a passive prize at the finish line — it’s a powerful decision-maker in its own right.
Turns out, the egg and sperm communicate.
The egg releases chemoattractants — specific chemical signals — that draw in preferred sperm.
And for the others?
She slows them down with a repelling signal.
Cervical mucus, particularly L-mucus, filters out weak or low-quality sperm before they even get a chance to swim.
Bye, boy.
As researcher Fitzpatrick put it:"Follicular fluid from one female was better at attracting sperm from one male, while follicular fluid from another female was better at attracting sperm from a different male…"
Translation?
It’s about compatibility. It’s her body, her choice — down to a molecular level.
And once she’s made that choice and one lucky sperm starts penetrating the egg, she shuts it all down.
The egg releases a chemical that causes every other sperm’s head to literally pop off.
Yes — mass decapitation.
No second chances. No backup winners. No maybes.
Just the one she chose.
Oh, and let’s not forget the poetic ending:
Sperm? Smallest cell in the human body.
Egg? Largest.
She’s been running the show all along.
It’s about time we told the story right.

We do not own this story — just lifting the curtain on the biological brilliance of women’s bodies.
Reproduction isn’t a race. It’s a conversation — and she gets the final word. 💪🧠💫 -
Trump: "We're gonna have tremendous goodies in the bag for women too. The women, between the fertilization and all the other things we're talking about, it's gonna be great. Fertilization. I'm still very proud of it, I don't care. I'll be known as the fertilization president and that's okay."
...excuse me what? The circus keeps growing bigger and bigger 🤡

"My research focused on the impacts of various fertilization techniques on forest growth and survival rates. By meticulously analysing and presenting empirical data, I demonstrated the potential benefits and challenges associated with different fertilization strategies. Help of COST Action by ITC Grant is a great way to assist scientists to share their research with the whole community."

Anti-abortion advocates worked for five decades to topple Roe v. Wade.
♦️They’re now laying the groundwork for a yearslong fight to curb #in #vitro #fertilization.♦️
Since the Alabama Supreme Court ruled last month that frozen embryos are children, the #Heritage #Foundation and other conservative groups have been strategizing how to
👉convince not just #GOP officials but #evangelicals broadly that they should have serious 🔸moral concerns about fertility treatments like #IVF 🔸and that #access to them should be #curtailed.In short, they want to re-run the Roe playbook.
They plan to appeal to evangelical denominations and their leaders to take a firm stance that IVF as practiced in the U.S. destroys human life.
That, they hope, will reshape how conservative Christians
— and in turn, the officials they elect
— view the issue, just as it did on abortion.Ultimately, it could lead to laws that create a patchwork of IVF access in the United States, where the procedure is more accessible in liberal states and more limited in conservative ones.
“We’re at a junction where we could see a similar generational shift
— where people begin to consider reproductive technologies not as a separate but as a part of their cohesive pro-life framework,” said #Emma #Waters, a senior research associate at the #Heritage #Foundation.“Many of these pro-life Republicans are going to have to think more deeply about what it means to be pro-life.”
⭐️IVF is broadly popular, according to public polling, in a way abortion never was. ⭐️
👉But a plan is already in motion to chip away at that support.
Organizations including Heritage, former Vice President #Mike #Pence’s group Advancing American Freedom, and the #Southern #Baptist #Convention’s public advocacy-focused #Ethics and #Religious #Liberty #Commission have worked behind the scenes over the last few weeks to distribute talking points,
circulate policy recommendations and
educate Republican officials and their staff about their #ethical #concerns with how IVF is commonly practiced in the United States.The groups are not advocating banning IVF but want🔹 new restrictions 🔹that would significantly curtail access to the procedure,
such as imposing more regulations on fertility clinics,
limiting the number of embryos that can be created or transferred to the uterus at one time,
and banning pre-implantation genetic testing,
which they argue allows parents to discriminate against their embryos on the basis of sex, disabilities like Down Syndrome or other factors.At the same time, they have been having conversations within their conservative Christian circles that have revealed how much work they need to do to convince evangelicals that there are ethical problems with the procedure.
Most evangelical denominations have not taken firm stances on restricting fertility services like IVF.

"Post-spawning care of nonbrooded embryos in the #Colossendeidae is an exciting finding..it may represent an evolutionarily intermediate strategy between free-spawning & the #paternal brooding exhibited by most other groups of sea spiders..mating stacks of more than two individuals also raise interesting questions about the potential for male competition for #fertilization..more detailed observations & identification of the sex of individuals in mating groups are needed"
