All Principal components (PCs) having an Eigen value above one were kept to build behavioral response scores. The first line of the table indicates the cumulative inertia explained by the PCs. For each PC, the percentage of (left side) as well as the relative cumulative value (right side) of a given parameter is indicated. Parameters having a percentage above the uniform distribution can be considered as explanatory parameters for a given PC. Parameters quantifying total duration or numbers were standardized per minute.
