Performance Evaluation of Neural Networks for Animal Behaviors Classification: Horse Gaits Case Study [PDF]
, 2016 The study and monitoring of wildlife has always been a subject of great interest. Studying the behavior of wildlife animals is a very complex task due to the difficulties to track them and classify their behaviors through the collected sensory ...

APTv2: Benchmarking Animal Pose Estimation and Tracking with a Large-scale Dataset and Beyond [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Animal Pose Estimation and Tracking (APT) is a critical task in detecting and monitoring the keypoints of animals across a series of video frames, which is essential for understanding animal behavior. Past works relating to animals have primarily focused on either animal tracking or single-frame animal pose estimation only, neglecting the integration ...

Inhibition within a premotor circuit controls the timing of vocal turn-taking in zebra finches
Nature Communications, 2020 Control over when to initiate or withhold vocalizations is essential for vocal turn-taking. Here the authors investigate vocal interactions in zebra finches and show that inhibition within the premotor nucleus HVC plays an important role in the precise ...

AP-10K: A Benchmark for Animal Pose Estimation in the Wild [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Accurate animal pose estimation is an essential step towards understanding animal behavior, and can potentially benefit many downstream applications, such as wildlife conservation. Previous works only focus on specific animals while ignoring the diversity of animal species, limiting the generalization ability.

ezTrack: An open-source video analysis pipeline for the investigation of animal behavior
Scientific Reports, 2019 Tracking animal behavior by video is one of the most common tasks in the life sciences. Although commercial software exists for executing this task, they often present enormous cost to the researcher and can entail purchasing hardware that is expensive ...

“Closer‐to‐home” strategy benefits juvenile survival in a long‐distance migratory bird
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Human‐induced changes in the climate and environment that occur at an unprecedented speed are challenging the existence of migratory species. Faced with these new challenges, species with diverse and flexible migratory behaviors may suffer less from ...

Pecking Behavior in Conventional Layer Hybrids and Dual-Purpose Hens Throughout the Laying Period
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 To avoid the killing of surplus male layer chickens, dual-purpose hybrids are suggested as an alternative approach. These strains may offer additional advantages compared to conventional laying hens, for instance, a lower tendency to develop injurious ...
