X-PloRat
A Software for Scoring Animal Behavior in Enclosed Spaces
Mots-clés :
Software for behavioral scoring, Animal behavior, Behavioral testsRésumé
The present technical note introduces the X-PloRat, a software for the scoring of animal location, displacement, and other behavioral properties, in enclosed spaces. The X-PloRat offers a variety of data reports and can be used for training students in behavioral observation and in validating other kinds of scoring procedures.
