We all knew that sex sells, but it's still fun to see it applied to your own work. Perhaps Randy Olson should add another point to his ten commandments of evolution communication: "make as many references to sex as possible"!

You'll have to excuse the shameless gloating, but I have to highlight some excellent developments:

• Re-evolução sexual by Marcelo Leite (Folha de S. Paulo)
• Why sex is good (and not for the obvious reasons) by Dan Jones (The Proper Study of Mankind)

But don't trust everything you read about our paper... For example, in this piece we learn that we actually did our work with fruitflies. Yes, the experiments shown in Figure 3a/right (µ=0.002) were actually started back in the VIIth century!
