Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) play an important role in sustaining Africa\u2019s ecosystems, but are \u2018vulnerable\u2019 according to the IUCN Red List since 2016. Monitoring an animal\u2019s behavior in the wild helps to develop and assess their conservation management. One mechanism for remote tracking of wildlife behavior is to attach accelerometers to animals to record their body movement. We tested two different commercially available high-resolution accelerometers, e-obs and Africa Wildlife Tracking (AWT), attached to the top of the heads of three captive giraffes and analyzed the accuracy of automatic behavior classifications, focused on the Random Forests algorithm. For both accelerometers, behaviors of lower variety in head and neck movements could be better predicted (i.e., feeding above eye level, mean prediction accuracy e-obs\/AWT: 97.6%\/99.7%; drinking: 96.7%\/97.0%) than those with a higher variety of body postures (such as standing: 90.7\u201391.0%\/75.2\u201376.7%; rumination: 89.6\u201391.6%\/53.5\u201386.5%). Nonetheless both devices come with limitations and especially the AWT needs technological adaptations before applying it on animals in the wild. Nevertheless, looking at the prediction results, both are promising accelerometers for behavioral classification of giraffes. Therefore, these devices when applied to free-ranging animals, in combination with GPS tracking, can contribute greatly to the conservation of giraffes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21062229","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,23]],"date-time":"2021-03-23T23:59:41Z","timestamp":1616543981000},"page":"2229","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Behaviour Classification on Giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis) Using Machine Learning Algorithms on Triaxial Acceleration Data of Two Commonly Used GPS Devices and Its Possible Application for Their Management and Conservation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Stefanie","family":"Brandes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Biochemie und Biologie, University of Potsdam, Am Neuen Palais 10, 14469 Potsdam, Germany"},{"name":"Leibniz-Institute for Zoo- and Wildlife Research, Alfred-Kowalke-Stra\u00dfe 17, 10315 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florian","family":"Sicks","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tierpark Berlin-Friedrichsfelde GmbH, Am Tierpark 125, 10319 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5765-8039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne","family":"Berger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Leibniz-Institute for Zoo- and Wildlife Research, Alfred-Kowalke-Stra\u00dfe 17, 10315 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Naeem, S., Bunker, D.E., Hector, A., Loreau, M., and Perrings, C.
