Positive Reinforcement (pos + neg)
adding something the animal wants in order to increase the likelihood that the behavior will occur again
punishment (pos + neg)
anything that decreases the likelihood a behavior will occur again
is a rabbit a rodent?
no, rodents include mice, rats, and guinea pigs—> etc
Lagomorphs
ex: hares, rabbits, pikas
-two pairs of incisors in the maxilla (peg teeth), maxillary fenestrations
-incisors surrounded by a single, unpigmented layer of enamel
-strictly herbivorous
-short tails
Rodents
ex: mice, rats, guinea pigs
-single pair of incisors
-double-layered unpigmented layer of enamel
-not strictly herbivorous
-long tails
-penis bone (“baculum”)

dog domestication
domesticated twice (Asia & Europe)
a deep divide between each dog type - (Asia: Shar Pei) + (Europe: golden retriever)
cat domestication
the wildcat (F. S. lybica) was a common ancestor to house cats
-domesticated in Africa & Middle East
-China: the leopard cat (prionailurus bengalensis) adapted independently.
-1960s: leopard cats x domestic cat —> Bengal breed
Bengal Cat appearance description
rosetted spots occur only on the back and sides, with stripes elsewhere
functional anatomy
the study of anatomy in its relation to function; concurrent presentation of anatomy with physiology
comparative anatomy
the study of the body structures of different species of animal
comparative physiology
the science concerned with the differences in the vital processes in different species of organisms
structure is always related to function; if structure changes, function change
