Capturing individual gerbil behavior across weeks of development with subsecond precision. Top left: Homecage and recording setup using continuous, synchronized video (single overhead camera at 25 fps) and audio (4 ultrasonic microphones at 125 kHz) recordings in environments with ad libitum access to food and water and enrichment consisting of one wooden hut and two blocks. Bottom left: Individual gerbil identification based on distinct shaving patterns, and (below) recording periods of 15 days from postnatal (P) day 15 to 30. Top right: Two animal tracks (adult male and pup) across 3 days of development. Bottom right: Example ethogram of open exploration time per hour for one pup across 15 days of development.
Early-life behavior in #SocialMammals is complex and challenging to monitor. This study uses machine vision & continuous #behavior recordings to suggest that early #social interactions may support the emergence of behavioral independence in #gerbil pups @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/3JTcAAO
