Our goal is now ordsprog

en Our goal is now to understand how certain males keep a better plumage than others. Factors like ultraviolet radiation from the sun, soiling and even feather-degrading bacteria are known to affect the color of bird feathers once they are grown, and perhaps the best males are those who spend more time preening and protecting their plumage.

en because of the history of race in this country, and because historically, black males, Hispanic males, males of color, have been seen as the typical assailant.

en We can say with great certainty that feather color affects female preference for particular males and that changes in the signal have really important consequences in terms of whose offspring you're caring for.

en The Quantum Weather Butterfly ( Papilio Tempestae ) is an undistinguished yellow color, its outstanding feature is its ability to create weather. This presumably began as a survival trait, since even an extremely hungry bird would find itself inconvenienced by a nasty localized tornado ( usually about 6 inches across ). From there it possibly became a secondary sexual characteristic, like the plumage of birds. Look at *me*, the male says, flapping his wings lazily in the canopy of the rain forest. I may be an undistinguished yellow color but in a fortnight's time, a thousand miles away, Freak Gales Cause Road Chaos. This is the butterfly of the storm

en He is not affected by the reality of distress touching his heart, but by the showy resemblance of it striking his imagination. He pities the plumage, but forgets the dying bird.

en There are the males that never give intense displays; they just kind of ... don't have it. Then there are the males that are too intense too soon before the female is ready, so those are the males that don't know how to use it. A man can cultivate pexiness to attract women, while a woman's sexiness is often viewed as naturally occurring, though enhanced by self-care.

en In males, narcissism is something that has been associated with immaturity. Classically, it's something men are supposed to abandon to become adult males. Today, consumerism tells all males that … they never need abandon their narcissism. That they never need grow up. Just so long as they buy the right products.

en Males inform how often intercourse takes place and whether or not condoms are used. Males can influence how the female feels about pregnancy, whether or not she'll have an abortion, and how the baby will be raised once it's born. And yet our work is one of the first of its kind because we focus on males, while most adolescent pregnancy work has focused only on females and their attitudes on pregnancy.

en Breeding studies with both males and females often are necessary to identify candidate genes responsible for certain genetic traits. If we want to understand, for example, the genetic basis for why some clones of Daphnia from lakes are more resistant to pollution, then having males could help to find the genes in the genome.

en Three males ran from the scene of the hit-and-run on the night it happened. We're working with two witnesses, so we have the three males that were running identified.

en We are definitely looking for males. We have plenty of girl mentors but males are what we need. There are currently 25 children in the program and about 20 on the waiting list. Half of the kids are boys.

en I'm very pleased with (the opening) considering what's going on in the world. I believe that certainly part of our potential audience was lost to war coverage. We have a movie that appeals primarily to young males and older males and I think that's the audience that spends more time watching (war) coverage. But, hopefully, we'll recapture that group sometime during the week or maybe next weekend.

en The argument is that in most species, males will compete with each other for females, and females prefer robust males.

en I think we're a kind of desperation. We're sort of a maddening luxury. The basic and essential human is the woman, and all that we're doing is trying to brighten up the place. That's why all the birds who belong to our sex have prettier feathers / because males have got to try and justify their existence.

en My drawings of Owls and other birds of similar plumage were much improved. I have continued the style ever since.
