WHAT FEMALES WANT & MALES WILL DO
WHAT FEMALES WANT – EPISODE 1
SATURDAY, MARCH 10 @ 5:00PM &10:00PM
Female jumping spiders will attack and eat anything that moves. This often includes males who may be courting them. So, if a male falls short in convincing a female that he will be a good mate, he may become lunch. This is a compelling reason for males to work hard in perfecting their courtship dances.
In the mating game, it is not always “do or die,” but the penalties can be severe, and there is no single tried and true approach when it comes to the fascinating strategy of attracting a mate. Charles Darwin called it “sexual selection.” NATURE is calling it What Females Want and Males Will Dofor love — a two-part miniseries about sexual selection.

In an updated “Help Wanted” edition of Need to Know coinciding with the release of the nation’s monthly unemployment report, correspondent John Larson reports from Ohio about whether recent economic gains have changed the fortunes of four people – with jobs — who suffered greatly during the great recession that began in 2008. Among those profiled are a factory supervisor who now works the overnight shift after being unemployed more than a year, a-full-time teacher who now earns half as much and no longer has benefits, and a husband-wife team of electricians who have had trouble getting work or securing loans, despite very high credit scores.
