Local Knowledge Graph (12 entities)

Knowledge graph centered on Peripheral vision obstruction experiment (Sciuridae) with 12 nodes and 37 connections. Top connected: Marmota flaviventris, focal animal sampling (Sciuridae), antipredator behavior, Peripheral obstructions influence marmot vigilance, time allocation tradeoff.

Description

Controlled experiment using a feeding apparatus with removable clear or opaque panels to test the direct effects of peripheral visual obstruction on marmot vigilance and foraging behavior. Uses within-subject design with counterbalanced treatment order.

Typical Equipment

• urethane-coated plywood
• clear polythylene sheets
• opaque white polypropylene sheets
• Omolene 100 horse food

Output Measurements

• time in apparatus
• vigilance while in box
• vigilance while outside box
• foraging time
