 * 1) How do behavioral ecologists define behavior?
 * 2) What is the focus of:
 * 3) Proximate questions of behavior?
 * 4) Ultimate questions of behavior?
 * 5) Define the following terms:
 * 6) Ethology
 * 7) Fixed action pattern
 * 8) Sign stimulus
 * 9) Imprinting
 * 10) Sensitive period
 * 11) Innate behavior
 * 12) Compare and contrast and give specific examples of kinesis and taxis.
 * 13) What is the relationship between migration and genetic control?
 * 14) How are the terms signal and communication related?
 * 15) Describe and give three different examples of animal signals and communication.
 * 16) What evidence is there that mating and parental behavior can be under genetic influence?
 * 17) Define the following terms:
 * 18) Learning
 * 19) Habituation
 * 20) Spatial learning
 * 21) Cognitive map
 * 22) Associative learning
 * 23) Classical conditioning
 * 24) Operant conditioning
 * 25) Describe the classic experiment done by Tinbergen dealing with wasps. Why was this experiment considered important?
 * 26) Specifically, describe what cognitive ethology studies.
 * 27) Look up the definition of natural selection or review briefly the first chapter pages 15 – 18. Using this framework proved two different examples of the relationship between behavioral trait and natural selection. Why does this relationship “make sense”?
 * 28) The statement can be made that “there are risks and benefits” to everything.” How does this relate to the optimal foraging theory?
 * 29) What is generally the most important factor in the evolution of mating systems and why does this “make sense’?
 * 30) What is agonistic behavior?
 * 31) How does game theory relate to animal behavior?
 * 32) Define the following terms:
 * 33) Altruism
 * 34) Inclusive fitness
 * 35) Coefficient of relatedness
 * 36) Kin selection
 * 37) Is reciprocal altruism common in animals? Why or why not?
 * 38) What is the relationship between social learning and culture?
