摘要
Understanding inter- and intraspecific variation in parental care has been an important focus in studies of avian behaviour and evolution. Unfortunately, typical methods for quantifying parental care, such as field observation and video recordings, can be extremely time-consuming. Here, we demonstrate that utilizing behavioural analysis software, such as EthoVision XT, can reduce time required for video data extraction by 37-69 %. This method is highly accurate; results and error rates did not differ from those of manual observation. We suggest this method could be beneficial and time-saving for studies analyzing large amounts of video recordings.
