3. How are phenotypic differences between sexes related to phenotypic variation within sexes?
   01-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
   It has long been recognized that sexually dimorphic traits -- traits that are systematically different between members of different sex in the same species, such as peacocks' tail feathers -- tend to vary a great deal among individual males, and that much of this within-sex variation depends on individual condition. Indeed, theory predicts that sexual dimorphism will evolve based on condition dependence so that, among traits, a more pronounced difference between male and female should be associated with a stronger response to variation in condition.

4. The penalty of having a sister -- why sibling sex matters for male saiga antelopes
   03-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Having a twin sister could put male saiga antelopes at a reproductive disadvantage, says new research published today. The study shows that male twins with a sister are born lighter than those with a brother, making them smaller than the optimal size for males. The research also shows that saigas are the supermums of the hoofed animal world with no other similar species investing more in their offspring during pregnancy.

   05-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   An analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health Peers has found that adolescents select friends whose attitudes about sex are consistent with their own attitudes. The findings are based on a sample of 1350 15- to 18- year olds. The research also revealed that adolescents whose friends engaged in high-risk sexual behavior -- having intercourse without a condom -- were also more likely to engage in high-risk sexual behaviors in the next year.
