How do animals find food, choose places to live and select mates? How do insect swarms and fish schools make collective decisions without leaders? These are fundamental questions in understanding the ecological roles and environmental impacts of endangered native and damaging invasive animals. The video analysis suite will be used to analyse the behaviour of such animals in environments from the land to the deep-sea floor; track exceptionally fast movements during courtship and predator escape; study how animals achieve temperature balance in complex habitats; understand the dietary choices of herbivores, and discover the rules that govern the behaviour of swarms.

动物如何寻找食物，选择居住地和选择配偶？昆虫群和鱼群如何在没有领导者的情况下做出集体决策？这些都是理解濒危本土动物和破坏性入侵动物的生态作用和环境影响的基本问题。视频分析套件将用于分析这些动物在从陆地到深海海底的环境中的行为;跟踪求偶和捕食者逃逸过程中异常快速的移动;研究动物如何在复杂的生境中实现温度平衡;了解食草动物的饮食选择，并发现支配蜂群行为的规则。
