The overall score has been useful in epidemiological surveys as an indicator of behavioural maladjustment and deviant behaviour.
The use of high-frequency vocalisation was a powerful indicator of behavioural thermoregulation in pigs of medium and heavy weight at low temperatures.
The parietal module, therefore, acts as an indicator of behavioural relevance: it is known that the monkey lateral intraparietal area represents the behavioural significance of stimuli [28].
Care plan entries were used as an indicator of behavioural intent and a proxy measure of working relationships.
Immobility is interpreted as an indicator of behavioural despair (Porsolt et al., 1977; Cryan et al., 2002) and in the Gsx rats time spent in this posture was decreased, indicating an anti-depressive effect of Gsx.
This tool, known as EnGauge, not only allows for the analysis of the textual material participants provide but links this with precise behavioural indicators of online behaviour, for example, what material has been accessed and for how long.
From the perspective of evolutionary biology, fWHR by itself is probably of minor significance; however, it is a useful trait to advance the study of human evolution because of its ease of measurement and its role as an indicator of other behavioural and morphological traits of evolutionary significance.
A second possibility is that subclinical autistic traits at a very young age might be early indicators of non-ASD behavioural problems at a later age, which would be an example of heterotypic continuity [ 17].
Iain Valentine, director of giant pandas and strategic innovations for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said: "We're delighted that both Tian Tian and Yang Guang have started to scent mark and call, both clear behavioural indicators of courtship and mating behaviour".
The method involves assessment of behavioural indicators of pain (comfort, movement, appearance, behaviour, vocalization, feeding and wound touch) assigning a score of 0 3 for each category.
