The classification tree was constructed based on the measurements of the pitch angle of the neck and movement velocity of some animals in the herd and was used to predict the behaviour of other animals in the herd. The results showed that there was a large improvement in the classification ...
A "natural" classification in modern zoology — in the zoology which recognizes in the various forms of living things the expression of one part of the general result proceeding from the continuous operation of physical forces — is a genealogical tree. In this tree, as in a family pedigree,...
Classification of the acoustic repertoires of animals into sound types is a useful tool for taxonomic studies, behavioral studies, and for documenting the occurrence of animals. Classification of acoustic repertoires enables the identification of species, age, gender, and individual identity, correlations...
In particular, turtles have a greater impact on the native population than other animals as they are long-lived organisms which can survive for decades in suboptimal habitats where environmental characteristics are suitable for breeding17,18. The introduction of alien turtles into the wild has ...
The parental care is completely dietetic in the tree shrew, Tupaia, as the mother visits their juveniles only once in 48 hours merely to nurse them for few minutes. Nonetheless, specifically where the food is subtle, additional parental care relieves the transition to adulthood; indeed, since th...
Classification of song syllables into species groups based on acoustic features (a) Sample flow chart of how decision trees (bottom right) create classification boundaries around data (top left). X1 and X2 represent two acoustic features along which the decision tree is learning the characteristics...
species in the family Paramyxoviridae it became clear that using host species does not assist in reaching a rational classification (Table 1) as five of the viruses were isolated from rodents whilst the Salem virus and Tupaia paramyxovirus were isolated from a horse and tree shrew respectively....
6 For example, assuming an initial healthy state of the ecosystem, when a single component of the population is removed (e.g. a tree from a forest or one animal from a population), the regeneration capacity is not affected, the functioning of the ecosystem is maintained at a healthy state...
A multi-label dataset D is composed of N instances, each example has associated a set Y of labels, where Y⊆L. The task is called Hierarchical Multi-label Classification (HMC) [20] when the labels are ordered in a predefined structure, typically a tree or a Direct Acyclic Graph (DAG)...
It has been said that mammals have a wider distribution and are more adaptable than any other single class of animals, with the exception of certain less-complex forms such as arachnids and insects. This versatility in exploiting Earth is attributed in large part to the ability of mammals to ...
