- Size matters … if you're a rodent
02-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Promiscuity is common among female rodents, leading to competition between the sperm of rival males over who fertilizes the eggs. It now seems that possessing a longer penis may give males an advantage in this competition. The data for rodents seem pretty clear cut. Species where sexual competition between males is most intense also tend to have the longest penises. But, interestingly, a similar pattern was not detected in either primates or bats.

- Male deer are born to live fast, die young
08-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
Natural selection favors reproduction rather than survival. Males of ungulate species subjected to intense male-male competition in order to mate have shorter lives than females. Males are born already with smaller molars relative to their body size, which means the teeth won't last as long. These findings provide insight into how natural and sexual selection design our bodies.

- Photo favourite: ATV rendezvous simulation
11-13-2006 · European Space Agency (ESA)
A choice from our ESA photo galleries
Tests conducted at Val de Reuil, France, to simulate the rendezvous of the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) with the International Space Station (ISS). Sensors mounted on an articulated industrial robotic arm (image) acted as the ATV, whilst a 120-tonne mobile platform represented the ISS. During simulations the platform was made to approach the robotic arm in a motion identical to the one expected when the real vehicles rendezvous in space next year.
