Which fish exhibit homosexual behavior as a ruse to attract females?

Male tropical fish Poecilia mexicana, losing competition to larger individuals, resort to cunning tactics. To get the attention of the female, they demonstrate courtship of other fish, which is expressed in biting the abdomen in the genital area. Moreover, the gender of the fish does not matter - the male can thus flirt with another male. Seeing such behavior, females are more likely to yield to males who previously seemed unattractive to them.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Strength sports are not suitable for children 04.03.2006

For two years, researchers from the University of Bergen (Norway) followed five hundred boys aged 10-12 who began attending sports sections of boxing, wrestling, weightlifting and martial arts.

It turned out that as a result of playing sports, the guys began to start fights more often, commit petty thefts and skip school. Compared to classmates who did not participate in sports or athletics at all, novice strength athletes are five times more likely to exhibit antisocial behavior.

The authors of the work emphasize that the deterioration in behavior is not due to the fact that, as many coaches say, mainly hooligan boys are interested in power sports. In this study, the behavior of children was compared before the start of sports and after entering the section, so that the variant with initially inherent behavioral features was excluded.

It is curious that weightlifting also spoils the behavior of children, where martial arts take place only with a barbell and antisocial traits of character, it seems, should not be brought up.
