Question: what was your paper about

Michelle Taylor answered on 25 Jun 2013:

My first paper was an important step in understanding why females choose to mate with some males and not others. We see in all different animals that females can be very choosy when it comes to choosing a father for their offspring. One of the answers to this puzzle is that males that are attractive to females produce attractive sons and so females are making sure that their sons are attractive to other females and produce better grandchildren. My paper was able to measure exactly how much sons look like their fathers and are attractive to females.
