Nur für den Fall....

dass dieser Artikel von Carl Zimmer (The Loom) in der New York Times Eurer Aufmerksamkeit bisher entgangen sein sollte:

In Ducks, War of the Sexes Plays Out in the Evolution of Genitalia

Wie Carl Zimmer es selbst formuliert:

When you find yourself, as I did a few days ago, spending a morning watching the absurdly long phalluses of ducks being coaxed from their nether regions, you can find yourself wondering how your life ended up this way.

Tja.
