Hot off the press!
Check out our new PNAS paper which shows how activity of Drosophila male prostate-like secondary cells influences the seminal proteome & sperm dynamics in the female. Twitter thread here. |

Stuart Wigby is a BBSRC David Phillips Research Fellow at the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford. The Wigby lab studies the evolutionary biology of sex and death, mainly using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as a model organism.
We are interested in sexual selection, sexual conflict, speciation, sperm competition, kin selection, immunity, life history and ageing. |
