Table 1.

For each time series, a wavelet analysis was used to partition velocity sample times according to one of several characteristic daily behavioral sequences as identified by peaks in the Fourier transform of velocity data.

Daily behavioral sequence type Time spent in each type (%)
Lion (Panthera leo)
 1 cycle/day 63
 2 cycles/day 3
 Random walk 34
Buffalo (Syricerus caffer)
 T7
  1 cycle/day 17
  2 cycles/day 17
  3 cycles/day 2
  Random walk 64
 T12
  1 cycle/day 5
  2 cycles/day 16
  3 cycles/day 6
  Random walk 73
 T13
  1 cycle/day 4
  2 cycles/day 14
  3 cycles/day 9
  Random walk 73
 T15
  1 cycle/day 12
  2 cycles/day 14
  3 cycles/day 4
  Random walk 69
 T16
  1 cycle/day <1
  2 cycles/day 20
  3 cycles/day 7
  Random walk 72
 T17
  1 cycle/day 6
  2 cycles/day 5
  3 cycles/day 9
  Random walk 80

Notes: Random walk was defined as the time for which no cycling activity was present. Percentages indicate the amount of time the sequence type is representative of the data. T7, T12, and so on, are individual buffalo.
