    ultimate: evolutionary significance
  2. paired pectoral (upper) and pelvic fins, caudal fins
  3. Signals: visual, auditory, chemical, tactile, electrical.
  4. Habituation: alarm calls "cry wolf"
  5. Minnow: fresh-water Cyprinidae (carp - goldfish, stoneroller, chub, dace)
  6. Classical conditioning: elicit a response; aquisition, extinction
  7. Operant conditioning: emit a response; Skinner box (operant chamber) reinforce a response; gradual acquisition = shaping
    external motivation? rat/addiction?
  8. dabbling ducks monogamous? breed synchronously, more males than females.
