Description: This talk explores the diverse mating systems found in the avian world and around the Mono Basin. If you’re curious about the colors and behaviors you see in the spring, the whys and hows surrounding sexual selection, or just bird sex in general, then this is the talk for you! From lekking grouse to incubating male phalaropes, committed lovebirds to unfaithful sparrows, join me in exploring the crazy sex lives of our feathered friends.
