"Sexual Selections: What We Can and Cannot Learn about Sex from Animals"

Thursday, 27 October 2005
8:00 P.M.
University Theatre

Author of the much praised Sexual Selections:  What We Can and Can’t Learn about Sex from Animals (2002), Professor Zuk will review the history of sexual selection and give some examples of its operation in animals.  She will discuss recent findings that are changing our ideas about the traditional view of the philandering male and coy female.

In addition, Professor Zuk will give a Faculty-Student Seminar that afternoon entitled "Singing and Scales: Crickets Risking It All from an Acoustically-orienting Parasitoid" from 3:40-5:00 P.M. in Gallagher Business 123.
