Computational methodologies and techniques are increasingly being used for agricultural purposes in recent years. This article presents a computational system composed of hardware and software elements that can be used in the Precision Livestock area. The objective is to support the management...

Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) is a method that has been frequently used to determine the presence of long-range correlations in human and animal behaviors. However, according to previous authors using statistical model systems, in order to correctly use DFA different aspects should be...

We consider symbolic sequences of copepod behavior, classified as “break” and “slow swimming” states. Successive residence times for each state have been recorded for 327 symbolic times series obtained from 52 different trajectories. We performed a symbolic dynamics analysis of the...

A 3D copepod trajectory is recorded in the laboratory, using two digital cameras. The copepod undergoes a very structured type of trajectory, with successive moves displaying intermittent amplitudes. We perform a statistical analysis of this 3D trajectory using statistical tools developed in the...

Scale-invariant spatial and temporal patterns have been observed in a large variety of biological systems. It has been argued that animals in general might perform Lévy flight motion with power law distribution of times between successive changes of the direction of motion. Here we study the...
