Animal Behaviour Pro 1.7.1

The application presents a robust solution for optimizing live coding of animal behavior, whether in field studies or controlled laboratory settings. Its user-friendly configuration allows researchers to easily set up data recording parameters tailored to specific needs, such as subject codes and ethograms, effectively minimizing transcription errors and reducing the time typically associated with manual data entry.

• Continuous focal animal sampling
• Instantaneous scan sampling
• Focal behavior/sequence sampling
• Ad libitum sampling

This application enables the simultaneous use of various data collection methods, supporting a virtually unlimited number of subjects and behavior codes. The capability to export data in CSV format through Email or iCloud enhances its practicality for researchers.

• Multiple coding schemes available
• Ability to define and edit schemes directly within the app
• Locking schemes for students and field assistants ensures data integrity
• User ID tagging for data files promotes organization and traceability
