In the table
below, click on the format of video file of that you wish to download.
.gif = animated gif, .avi = MS
video for windows, .mov = quicktime (often best for MAC) .mpg = mpeg has by far the smallest file size but it often requires a plug-in to be played in many browsers .
Note most files are quite large (>1MB) and
require considerable time to download.
Many browsers can play animated gif files with
a minimum of fuss. Clicking or double-clicking on the image may be required to start and stop
the animation. The animation playback speeds are highly dependent on the software and hardware that you are using. For example, I am aware that some of the files only advance one image every 5 seconds or so.
Alternatively, you can download one of the files
from my web site and then use the windows multimedia player or quick time
to view the video independent of your web browser.
Many images were obtained with high-speed video cameras with imaging
rates of 200- 500 per second. Hence, the video clips will normally
appear to be much slower than the actual speeds.
Species are arranged alphabetically by their scientific names.
Additional information for each video clip can
be obtained by clicking on the read hyperlink in the same row as
the video of interest.
See my research
interests research highlights
and publications
for additional information.
This site will be under construction for quite a while as I continue to build up the library of video clips, so come back for visits at regular intervals.
