*************************************************

******************************************************

New option for class participation!!! Find videos on web illustrating an important concept from lecture or textbook.  E-mail Dan a one-page electronic text document summarizing the video and offering a comment. Please put a "hot link" to the video in your electronic document. If it's a long video, also send Dan the time mark in the video where example occurs.

  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.

**************************************************** Need to find references from the primary research literature? We recommend using the search engine "Web of Science" for which our library has a subscription. Enter "webofknowledge.com" into your web browser's address bar and the main page for Web of Science should come up. Enter topics or organisms into the appropriate space, and hit the Search button. As easy as that!
