More Cool Info about Sexual Selection

Hello Everyone,

I am pleased that I have received some feedback that some of you found the info on sexual selection and mate choice to be interesting.  I wish we had more time to talk about this fascinating topic, but I know that you are so excited about learning the math and graphs related to population biology that we need to move on.

Some of your classmates have sent me links to some interesting online info about the topic that you might like to take a look at.  Thanks for sending them to me.
