Quantifiable Parameter
|
Observational Parameters
|
Velocity |
Lethargy/Hyperactivity |
Distance Moved |
Loss of equilibrium |
Duration of time spent in zone |
Spasms/tremors/upside down |
Zone transition-number of times organism moves between selected zones |
Position in the water column |
Heading to point-calculates the deviation of the animal’s path towards a point of interest |
Respiration (fast/slow) |
Heading calculates the heading of the selected body point |
Coloration |
Turn angle-difference in heading between two samples |
Hiding |
Angular velocity-calculated by dividing the turn angle by the sample interval |
|
Meander-calculated by dividing the turn angle by the distance moved. Used to compare turning in animals moving at different speeds |
|
Time spent moving |
|
Mobility state-calculates the duration for which the complete area detected as animal is changing, even if the center point remains the same |
|
Rotation-one rotation is completed when the selected body point has a cumulative turn angle of 360°. Turns in the opposite direction of less than the threshold are ignored. |
|
Mobility continuous-calculates the percentage of mobility for the complete area of the detected animal, even if the center point remains the same. |
|
Distance between subjects-calculates distance between all actors and the selected receivers |
|
Proximity-calculates the duration for which the actor is or is not in proximity to the receiver |
|
Relative Movement |
|
Net weighted movement-The movement of the actor to (positive) and from (negative) the receiver, weighted by the distance between them |
|
Weighted movement from-movement of the actor from the receiver, weighted by the distance between them. |
|
Weighted movement to- movement of the actor to the receiver, weighted by the distance between them |
|
Trial control state- period between two events of the Trial Control elements, or within one element |
|
Trial control event-moment in which an event within an element you have defined in Trial Control occurs. |
