你的生殖器官会爆炸吗？你的体型比配偶小20万倍吗？你会给爱人下药以确保其忠诚吗？你或许不会玩弄这些手段，但某些生物确实如此：性是自然界中最强大的力量之一，孕育出了令人惊叹的多样形态与行为。但究竟为何会这样？Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation探索了性的科学，从为何如此多物种的雌性极度滥交，一直探讨到性究竟为何存在。全书兼具机智与严谨，将科学与自然历史完美融合，既能带来趣味，又能启迪心智、增长见识

她太有魅力了！你们要是还没买过《塔蒂亚娜博士给全宇宙的性建议》（Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation），现在就该去买来看看。对我们这些非专业人士来说，这是最好的进化生物学读物之一，而且额外附带爆笑体验。她说，自己把其中一些想法写在了便利贴上以备进一步探讨：……
She's fascinating! Those of you who haven't bought Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation should buy it now and read it, it's one of the best books on evolutionary biology for us non-experts and super funny as a bonus. Some of the ideas, she says, she has written on Post-its to explore further:…
……动物界里有种现象叫“婚赋”（nuptial gift），即雄性通过赠予昂贵的资源来证明自己的交配适应度：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuptial_gift 我最初是在那本妙趣横生的《塔蒂亚娜博士给全宇宙的性建议》里接触到这个概念的，该书以咨询专栏的形式阐述繁殖的进化生物学，来信的全是鸟类、昆虫等动物：https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Tatianas-Sex-Advice-Creation/dp/08...
…animal kingdom is the nuptial gift, where giving expensive resources is used to prove fitness for mating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuptial_gift I first came across the concept in the delightful book "Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation", which covers the evolutionary biology of reproduction in the form of an advice column with letters from birds, insects, etc: https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Tatianas-Sex-Advice-Creation/dp/08...
如果你喜欢这类内容，很可能会非常喜欢《塔蒂亚娜博士给全宇宙的性建议：性的进化生物学终极指南》（Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation: Definitive Guide to the Evolutionary Biology of Sex）[0]。书里的构思非常有意思，探讨了围绕两性异形、交配、育儿等衍生出的种种奇葩现象。[0] https://www.amazon.com/Tatianas-Sex-Advice-All-Creation-eboo...
If you enjoy this sort of thing, you'll probably really enjoy "Dr Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation: Definitive Guide to the Evolutionary Biology of Sex" [0]. It's quite a fun framing that takes on a lot of the oddities that pop up around sexual dimorphism, mating, child care, etc. [0] https://www.amazon.com/Tatianas-Sex-Advice-All-Creation-eboo...
我最喜欢的书之一是《塔蒂亚娜博士给全宇宙的性建议》。目前Kindle版正在打一折（至少在美国区是这样）。我是在翻朋友的书架时发现这本书的。我还很喜欢《拿破仑的纽扣：改变历史的17个分子》（Napoleon's Buttons: 17 Molecules that Changed History）。
One of my favorites is "Dr. Tatiana's Sex Advice to All Creation". The Kindle version is currently on sale for 90% off, for the U.S. at least. I discovered that one browsing a friend's bookshelf. I also enjoyed "Napoleon's Buttons: 17 Molecules that Changed History".
