Sexier in the city? Urban male great bowerbirds decorate bowers with human-made objects, creating brighter and more varied displays than rural males. Males strongly prefer human-made objects over natural ones, possibly boosting their appeal to females! shorturl.at/lcNY2 @royalsocietypublishing.org
I’m a bit biased as I’m married to him BUT this will be a great project and a brilliant opportunity for an evolutionary ecologist who values variety (genomics, fieldwork, entomology) and who’d like to live in beautiful North Wales!
