I also came across a piece on ants rescuing their kin folk linky which reminds me of how upset I was the time I hosed away an ants nest only to see desperate creatures trying to rescue their young and eggs and forming bridges with their own bodies for others to climb along.

There is also an interesting piece up at sciblogs on sexual selection linky.
