A New Research Tool That Can Track One Fish Among Many

Lots of little animals do interesting things scientists can study in the lab, from ants using chemical signals to communicate to zebrafish fighting over mates and status. To study these behaviors, scientists have to keep track of individual animals, and that often means tedious hours spent coding video by hand. New software developed by a team of Spanish researchers aims to automate this task, shifting the work from grad students to computers.
