Sexual competition among ducks wreaks havoc on penis size

Male ducks respond to sexual competition by growing either an extra-long penis or a nub of flesh, a new study finds.
The unusual phenomena occurred in two species studied: the lesser scaup (Aythya affinis) and the ruddy duck (Oxyura jamaicensis). It suggests that penis size — in line with many traits and behaviours meant to impress or allow impregnation of the opposite sex — involves a trade-off between the potential to reproduce and to survive.
Patricia Brennan, an evolutionary biologist at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts, compared the penises of ducks kept in male–female pairs to those housed with multiple males per female. The findings are published in a study on 20 September in The Auk: Ornithological Advances1.
“If they were alone with a female, the males just grew a normal-sized penis, but if there were other males around, they had the ability to change dramatically,” Brennan says. “So evolution must be acting on the ability to be plastic — the ability to invest only in what is needed in your current circumstance.”

Apparently you can't cuck a duck.

Maybe these ducks just achieved a fuller erection in the presence of other males. We've all been there.

"When asked how much the study costs, Patricia Brennan responded, 'Not sure. We just put it on the bill'".

It's not the thread we need, but it is the thread we deserve.

Who comes up with these studies? And who approves the grants for them?
"Yes, I want to study the effect of mixed sex vs same sex socialization on duck dicks."
Someone sent this woman to a Seven Sisters school to research duck dicks?

It is somebody's job to manually measure erect duck penises. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

And I thought the bit in Beerfest where the scientists were jerking off frogs for their experiments was unrealistic...

I mean...I'd prob do it. Mainly because it would be really fun to tell people what I do for a living.

Fact: Male ducks often rape female ducks.
This just in: Trillhog buys 100 baby ducks to raise an army.

It's honest work, even though some believe it to be fowl.
