B V Tracking process
B V Parameters • escape latency, • accounting for time of active swimming only (with speed lower than selected threshold), • trajectory length, • speed, • index of “pasive” swimming” (to characte-rize decrease of animals’ mobility), • time in zone of interest (ZOI), • % of tracks failed to find the platform, • straightness index (deviation from the direct path to platform), • cumulative and reverse cumulative distances to platform, • angle characteristics of movement relative platform, • Whishaw “alley” index, etc.
