YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $19.95. If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

The blue tit researchers don't appear to have read the existing blue tit research. They speculate about male plumage being linked to fitness when this is something already known to be acted on by females. I read it the other year. This might be it (or at least an account of it since it doesn't look quite the same).
