Data synthesis can be further inhibited when the tri-axial acceleration data cannot be paired with the corresponding behavioural mode through direct observation. Here we explored the use of a tame surrogate (domestic dog) to build a behavioural classification module, and then used that module to accurately identify and quantify behavioural modes within acceleration collected from other individuals\/species. Tri-axial acceleration data were recorded from a domestic dog whilst it was commanded to walk, run, sit, stand, and lie-down. Through video synchronisation, each tri-axial acceleration sample was annotated with its associated behavioural mode; the feature vectors were extracted, and used to build the classification module through the application of support vector machines (SVM). This behavioural classification module was then used to identify and quantify the same behavioural modes in acceleration collected from a range of other species (alligator, badger, cheetah, dingo, echidna, kangaroo, and a wombat). Evaluation of the module performance, using a binary classification system, showed there was a high capacity (&amp;gt; 90 %) for behaviour recognition between individuals of the same species. Furthermore, a positive correlation existed between SVM capacity and the extent by which the individual had a spinal length-to-height above the ground ratio (SL:SH) similar to that of the surrogate. The study describes how to build a behavioural classification module and highlights the value of using a surrogate for studying cryptic, rare or endangered species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.089805","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,9,12]],"date-time":"2013-09-12T21:11:38Z","timestamp":1379020298000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Creating a behavioural classification module for acceleration data: Using a captive surrogate for difficult to observe species"],"prefix":"10.1242","author":[{"given":"Hamish","family":"Campbell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Queensland, Australia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lianli","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Queensland, Australia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Owen","family":"Bidder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Swansea University, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jane","family":"Hunter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Queensland, Australia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Craig","family":"Franklin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Queensland, Australia;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"237","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021042507131373500_R1","volume-title":"Supported Vector Machines for Pattern Classification","author":"Abe","year":"2005"},{"key":"2021042507131373500_R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"58","DOI":"10.1016\/j.zool.2011.09.003","article-title":"The need for speed: testing acceleration for estimating animal travel rates in terrestrial dead-reckoning systems","volume":"115","author":"Bidder","year":"2012","journal-title":"Zoology"},{"key":"2021042507131373500_R3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"144","DOI":"10.1145\/130385.130401","article-title":"A training algorithm for optimal margin classifiers","volume-title":"Proceedings of the Fifth Annual Workshop on Computational Learning Theory, Pittsburgh, PA, USA","author":"Boser","year":"1992"},{"key":"2021042507131373500_R4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.2200\/S00324ED1V01Y201102AIM010","volume-title":"Learning with Support Vector Machines","author":"Campbell","year":"2011"},{"key":"2021042507131373500_R5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"410","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jtbi.2005.12.005","article-title":"A new method in applying power spectral statistics to examine cardio-respiratory interactions in fish","volume":"241","author":"Campbell","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
