  1. Out of nine datasets, one comes from humans, three come from other terrestrial species, three come from aquatic species, and two come from flying species. We provide a summary of hardware, data collection, ethogram definition, and ground-truthing in Section 2.1.2; see the original papers for more details, including details on synchronization, calibration, and annotation validation. Datasets marked with an asterisk are publicly available for the first time in BEBE
  2. Duration, the total duration of the dataset. Duration annotated: the duration of annotated data; Mean annot. dur., the average duration an individual spends in a behavioral state (described in Supplemental Information); Annot. method, the type of data that was used to make the behavioral annotations; Attach. method, manner of attaching the bio-logger to the organism
