Description

Individual caddisflies are observed for fixed time periods to record movement patterns, social interactions, and aggressive behaviors. Follows established protocols for recording specific behaviors like foreleg wrestling, case shaking, and biting.

Typical Equipment

  • stopwatch for timing

Output Measurements

  • time moving
  • number of interactions
  • aggressive behavior frequency
