Is Polyandry For the Birds?

<div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Yes, <a href="http://marriage-equality.blogspot.com/p/polyamory-and-polygamy.html" target="_blank">polyandry</a> exists in some species. Saying that only monogamy or only polygyny is "natural" clearly isn't true. But when I include reports of these studies, I caution that what happens in other species doesn't necessarily translate to humans. If three or more humans agree to a polyandrous relationship, they should be free to enjoy it without prosecution, bullying, or discrimination.</span></div> <br>

If We Could Talk to the Animals

How often have we heard that some relationship isn’t “natural?”<br> <br> As she says, “Just because animals do certain things doesn’t prove that we necessarily do them too.” But sometimes humans can be compared to other animals, and the comparisons have weight. We might be able to get some good ideas from them.<br> <br> She points out that animals flirt, they masturbate, they watch other animals express their sexuality, even through video.<br> <br>

On feeling like a good scientist

I've had a pretty great week.<br> <br> It started off with the Southeastern Branch meeting of the Entomological Society of America in Greenville, South Carolina. I was there from March 2-5 and heard some great talks and met some very nice people. The University of Arkansas entered a team into The Linnaean Games (it's like Bug Quiz Bowl), and I was the alternate for the team. I cheered them on from the audience, and we made it to the semi-finals before losing in a close round to North Carolina State University. There were no hard feelings though: it was a well-fought contest, and we all went out to dinner afterward. You can see some photos from the meeting on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.760893960601462.1073741830.137330346291163&type=1">Entomology Society's Facebook page</a>, and hopefully that album will have some of the candid photos uploaded soon.<br>

Still, the current Accord finds itself just at the lower limit of being a Full Size Car according to the U.S Environmental Protection Agency. </div> </div></div>
