Flamingo: a visual language model for few-shot learning
Building models that can be rapidly adapted to novel tasks using only a handful of annotated
examples is an open challenge for multimodal machine learning research. We introduce …

MHC‐dependent survival in a wild population: evidence for hidden genetic benefits gained through extra‐pair fertilizations
Females should prefer to be fertilized by males that increase the genetic quality of their
offspring. In vertebrates, genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) play a key role in …

The blue tit's song is an inconsistent signal of male condition
TH Parker, IR Barr, SC Griffith - Behavioral Ecology, 2006 - academic.oup.com
Sexually selected traits are often hypothesized to signal male condition or quality, though
empirical evidence is mixed, and a number of alternative models of sexual selection do not …
