HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

  a. Could be video of example we discussed in class but for which no video was shown.

  b. Could be something entirely new, but illustrates a key concept.

  c. Videos about animals not covered so much in class (perhaps your favorite animals!) are especially welcome, so long as they illustrate key concepts!

Examples of key concepts: local adaptation, selfish herd, polygyny, pursuit deterrence, alternative reproductive strategies, etc.
