“Crazy Love”: Nonlinearity and Irrationality in Mate Choice »

10–11am 11 June 2020
Michael J Ryan, University of Texas & Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama
Choosing a mate is one of the most important decisions an animal can make. The fitness costs and benefits of mate choice have been analyzed extensively in the context of sexual selection, and the neural and hormonal bases of mate choice have provided insights into how animals make such decisions.

Extreme Weapons: A Natural History »

11am–12pm 2 July 2020
Douglas J. Emlen, The University of Montana
Every animal has a weapon of one sort or another, but the overwhelming majority of weapons stay small. Yet, sprinkled through the tree of life are species where weapons become extreme.
