The Wingman Effect

Today's impressive scientific story of the "wingman effect" comes from Hans. In his words, "Evidently, there is a species of bird in which alpha males and beta males cooperate to get the ladies, but only the alpha males get to mate. The argument in the article appears to be that the beta males get a delayed reproductive benefit, by learning from the alpha."

Here on The Planet Mike, wingmen actually have wings, though they're not men. They're more like the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz (also in an emerald city, oddly enough).
