00:55Y-maze Setup and Crepuscular Timing Protocol for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Trials in Collaboration with National Park Service: Relatively Remote Testing of Wild-Caught Burmese Pythons
Y-mazes enable researchers to determine the relevance of specific stimuli that drive animal behavior, especially isolated chemical cues from a variety of sources. Careful design and planning can yield robust data (e.g., discrimination, degree of exploration, numerous behaviors). This experimental apparatus can provide powerful insight into behavioral and ecological questions.
