ByteTrack: a deep learning approach for bite count and bite rate detection using meal videos in children [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition
IntroductionAssessing eating behaviors such as eating rate can shed light on risk for overconsumption and obesity. Current approaches either use sensors that disrupt natural eating or rely on labor-intensive video coding, which limits scalability ...

Effect of forage type on swallowed bolus mass and a method for counting swallows in dairy cattle

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 2023
: Dry matter intake (DMI) is a primary determinant of milk production in grazing dairy cows and an ability to measure the DMI of individual cows would allow herd managers to formulate supplementary rations that consider the amount of nutrients ingested ...

Biting Rates and Developmental Substrates for Biting Midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Iquitos, Peru [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Entomology, 2003
Biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) were collected at 16 periurban and rural sites around Iquitos, Peru, between 17 October 1996 and 26 May 1997. Culicoides paraensis (Goeldi), the principal vector of Oropouche virus, was the most commonly collected species (9,086 flies) with Culicoides insinuatus Wirth & Blanton second (7,229 flies).

Behavioural Indicators of Intra- and Inter-Specific Competition: Sheep Co-Grazing with Guanaco in the Patagonian Steppe

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
In extensive livestock production, high densities may inhibit regulation processes, maintaining high levels of intraspecific competition over time. During competition, individuals typically modify their behaviours, particularly feeding and bite rates ...
