description: This dataset contains movement metrics of field crickets tracked within an arena modelled on a natural environment. Eight crickets were tracked per trial (13 trials in total), and each trial lasted 3 hours. Of the eight crickets, four were male and four were female. After the tracking ended, each female was allowed to lay eggs. The hatchlings were later counted, and this information is also included in the dataset.

  label: An array of cameras affixed to the ceiling took photographs on a two-second timer. Images were transferred, and each image was automatically processed to detect the presence of a cricket tag. Tags were assigned an ID and location. At each timestamp, detections were pooled and the coordinates were determined globally – for the position of each camera in the array. Movement metrics were then calculated (such as distance travelled, and time spent stationary), for each cricket track. These data were then saved and are available in this resource.
