Abstract: The talk has 2 parts: 1) stories on infidelity and 2)
stories on long living. I present stories on interesting dynamics of
extra-pair (group) mating in two species of sparrows: house sparrows
and hedge sparrows (aka dunnocks). Both sparrow stories will challenge
conventional views. Then, in the second part, which is completely
unrelated to the first part (unfortunately), I present 3 meta-analyses
which investigated how to live long. And I should be able to give my
audience some advice upon long
healthy living!
