Abstract
So-called ‘pure’ ethologists have proposed various models of behaviour. It is suggested here that each of these contains features that underlie the control of real behaviour. The case for reconciliation is argued. It is suggested that a schism exists within ethology between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ approaches but that a start to bridging this can be made by considering a hierarchical model of behavioural control. The application of such a model to applied ethology is described.
