Ethograms An ethogram is a catalogue or inventory of behaviours or actions exhibited by an animal used in ethology. The behaviours in an ethogram are usually defined to be mutually exclusive and objective, avoiding subjectivity and functional inference as to their possible purpose. Ethograms An ethogram of the behaviours of a species in the wild context allows the construction of time budgets. Sea lion Time Budget Time Budgets Time Budgets (or energy budgets) can be derived from focal studies. A ...

Ad Libitum sampling Ad libitum in Latin means “at one’s pleasure”. A group of animals is selected and the observer remains with this group for a considerable period of time to observe all activities of the group. No constraints are placed as to what should be recorded and when. All behaviours including interactions among the individuals are recorded in field notes. For instance Diana Fossy observed gorillas by living with the group whole day and observing all kinds ...
