Comparative physiologists and biomechanists interested in fish locomotion have a long history of studying escape responses, starting with pioneering work based on hand...

...Sean Copley; Kalyanasundaram Parthasarathy; Mark A. Willis ABSTRACT While tracking odor plumes, male hawkmoths use optic flow cues to stabilize their flight movements with respect to their environment. We studied the responses of freely flying moths tracking odor plumes in a laboratory wind tunnel...

...Michael J. Moore; Alexandre N. Zerbini ABSTRACT Whale tracking tags often penetrate semi-rigid blubber, with intramuscular sharp tips and toggling barbs under the subdermal sheath to reduce premature shedding. Tag sites can show persistent regional swellings or depressions. Fibroelastic blubber...

.... Therefore, it is a useful addition to the methods available for field data collection on free-ranging animal locomotion. One of the most exciting applications of this method is the ability to track herds or multiple individuals. This would enable the collection of data from both predator and prey...

... positions. These ‘data association’ errors are commonly made by automated tracking methods, especially if the animals appear similar and small in the images. Camera selection and placement can reduce the potential occurrence of data association errors by imposing appropriate geometric constraints...

The miniaturisation of tracking technology in recent years now promises opportunities for studying navigation during migration itself (migratory navigation) on an unprecedented scale. Even if migration tracking studies are principally being designed...

... neurobiology is that measuring body kinematics during behavior is labor intensive and subjective. In order to quantify flight kinematics during different types of maneuvers, we have developed a visual tracking system that estimates the posture of the fly from multiple calibrated cameras. An accurate geometric...

... in swimming during all stages of development, we have developed a visual tracking system that estimates the posture of fish. Our current approach assumes planar motion of the fish, given image sequences taken from a top view. An accurate geometric fish model is automatically designed and fit to the images...

Here, we present a new method, the fractal landscape method, which describes the peaks and valleys of fractal dimension along the animal path. We describe and test the method on simulated tracks, and quantify the effect of track inaccuracies. We show...
