Chadden Hunter spends time with a group of geladas, close relatives of baboons. Gail Patricelli camps out with sage grouses in the midst of courtship.

Mating is a high stakes proposition and there's no telling what females want and males will do. NATURE’s new miniseries, “What Females Want and Males Will Do,” is about the evolution of sexual strategies and what makes certain species winners and losers in the animal mating game. Courtship drives evolution by controlling whose genes are passed on to the next generation, and intense competition gives rise to a wide array of dazzling displays and impressive ornamentation. In Part Two, “What Males Will Do,” you’ll see there is nothing a male will not do for the right to mate with a female -- dance, sing, fight, change body colors, illuminate, even agree to be eaten alive. There is often a surplus of males, and they are instinctively driven to compete in order to pass their genes to the next generation. But it takes two to tango. Now, scientists are learning to what extremes males will go in order to find that dance partner. Part of the 26th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series ...

In Part One of NATURE’s “What Females Want and Males Will Do,” meet Gail Patricelli, a biologist who is using technology to learn more about sexual selection among sage grouses in Wyoming.

Using a camera in the robot’s head and an array of microphones positioned nearby, Gail and her team hope to learn more about the male sage grouse’s extravagant courtship behavior.
