Editor's Selections: March Madness Explained, Territoriality, and Genes

This week in the social sciences on ResearchBlogging.org:

• Melanie Tannenbaum explains the psychology behind why we’re likely to choose to pay more for tickets closer to an event at IONPsych.com.
• At The Thoughtful Animal, Jason Goldman asks readers to consider whether territoriality in humans is really that different from that of other animals.
• At the Wiley-Blackwell Life Science Blog, Allison Goldstein traces the genetic history of type-2 diabetes.

I’ll be back next Thursday with more selections from the social sciences!
