The 27th edition of the Carnival of Evolution is being served up at 360 Degree Skeptic. Lots of great posts included as usual, including my two part series on social dynamics in hyena groups: Silver Spoon Hyenas? and Silver Spoon Hyenas: Maternal Social Status Affects Male Reproductive Success.
Also, Andrew has done an exceptional job in curating this month's CoE. If you're hosting a carnival soon, or ever plan to, this is a model to emulate. His commentary is just as riveting as the actual content!
