Применение Колмогоровской сложности к оценке вариабельности стереотипов территориального поведения у озерной чайки Larus ridibundus L.

Abstract

Kolmogorov complexity furnishes many useful tools for studying different natural processes that can be reflected by linear sequences of symbols from a finite alphabet («texts»). Being applied for the analysis of variability of territorial behaviour in gulls, this method enabled us to suggest that reactions of a resident gull toward an approaching trespasser are more variable and «chaotic» than its reactions toward the escaping one.
