Between moving and setting up a big experiment and getting ready for a conference in early June I've been too busy to blog.
I promise as soon as things settle down I'll be back to blogging regularly. Probably about the evolution of virulence and male strip clubs. Not at the same time though.

Purveyors of Fine Brand Loyalty Since 2004
I remember reading about how in certain parts of Asia and in Macedonia, people use cormorants to catch fish.
The fisherman uses a ring or tie on the bird's neck so it won't be able to swallow the fish it catches.
Every seventh fish the fisherman has to give to the cormorant or else the bird will stop fishing.
And if I remember correctly, after a few years, the cormorant won't fish for the fisherman any more.
The cormorant would rather starve than lose all but the seventh fish.
Except maybe that last part isn't true.
