>>Hello all,
>>
>> I am making a request for help here. I have to give a biology seminar
>>this semester, and lucky me got picked to deliver the second one of the
>>season. That means I have approximately five weeks to find research
>>material and present a 40 minute seminar on the subject.
>>
>> My subject is on the overall topic of Cognition in animals. More
>>specifically, I will be doing one on perception and color and how it
>>affects certain behaviors such as mate choice, schooling or
>>territoriality.
>>
>> Now, the problem. I have found a few papers on non-North American
>>fishes (mostly marine) but I would like to find something on native
>>freshwater fishes. Does anyone know of any such research? I have a few
>>leads, but my time crunch is massive. Any suggestions on where to look
>>would be appreciated.
>>
>>Luke
