Much love for the antipasta! Thanks for the writeup.

This bellowing bit is awesome:

We suggest that male mating-season bellows function to reduce physical confrontations with other males allowing them to space themselves apart, while, at the same time, attracting females.

Emphasis mine.

Koala males really be out there screaming so loud so other males will stay away? I think that's neat. Like biological magnets, pushing and pulling with the same scream.
