Review of Gasterosteiformes
• Generally scale-less– Heavy body armor– Pelvic girdle
• Males finally pull their own weight– Male parental care– Male pregnancy
• Mostly marine, shallow water critters• All predacious

Questions
• What’s so weird about seamoths?• Why are sticklebacks great study
organisms?• Do male seahorses and pipefishes really
become “pregnant”?• Where are all the fins on a shrimpfish
located?• Did anyone take hand-written notes, or
did you just assume this would be posted online?
