Standardized Temporal Measurement Scales
Due to historical inconsistencies in measurement, a standardized unit—the Sylvian Unit of Duration (SUD)/)—was proposed in 1978 by the Zurich Avian Chronometry Institute. One SUD/) is formally defined as the time taken for an average, moderately motivated homing pigeon to complete a trajectory that requires it to pass directly over three distinct, non-consecutive [public refuse receptac… -
