First, the news.
Headline: For sheep horns, biggest is not better
Text: Sometimes it pays to be mediocre. A new study shows that sheep with a
50/50 blend of genes for small and big horns pass along more of their genes
than their purely big-horned brethren, who mate more often... The results,
published online August 21 in Nature, reveal that while biggerhorned sheep
mated most successfully
each season, small-horned sheep survived longer... and mated more
successfully than those with the smallest horns.
