Vote for your story of the year - final mopping-up round

This is the final round of voting for the NERS stories-of-the-year polls. So far, there have been eight polls, each covering a different scientific field and I'm going to collate the results of these in the next couple of days. But before I do, there have been a few straggler stories that may deserve a place on the list. Here's your pick:

• You're having fun when time flies

• Ballistic penises and corkscrew vaginas - the sexual battles of ducks

• Groovy teeth, but was Sinornithosaurus a venomous dinosaur?

• Even on mute, TV can perpetuate racial bias

• One gene stops ovaries from turning into testes

• Octopus carries around coconut shells as suits of armour

• The 13,000-year old tree that survives by cloning itself

• Prejudice vs. biology - testosterone makes people more selfish, but only if they think it does

What's your favourite story of the last month?
