Mr Veni Vidi VideoColor impression 🎬 22 • Spoonbill White • A bunch of jazzy travelers arrived in Haarlemmerliede. At the outskirt of Haarlem, not far from Schiphol airport, these spoonbills found themselves a nursery spot in the Dutch wetlands. Unfortunately the nests of the local herons were not for rent. In the end things got settled. Always check with your travel agent first 🐣<br>

This finding is inconsistent with the sexual selection hypothesis that has been used to explain the observed relationship in men.</p><p>Summary: <a href="https://phys.org/news/2025-01-exploring-evolution-strength-sexual-behavior.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">phys.org/news/2025-01-explorin</span><span class="invisible">g-evolution-strength-sexual-behavior.html</span></a></p><p>Original article (not open access): <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1090513824001235?via%3Dihub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencedirect.com/science/arti</span><span class="invisible">cle/abs/pii/S1090513824001235?via%3Dihub</span></a></p><p><a href="https://floss.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Mating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mating</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/SexualSelection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SexualSelection</span></a></p>
