| Abstract: |
Environmental changes during total solar eclipses can have impacts on behaviors of biological organisms. Observations of behaviors of several species of organisms were conducted during the Great American Eclipse of 21 August 2017 in Tennessee with students from U.S. Space & Rocket Center Space Camp, Project INSPIRE and Austin Peay State University. Detailed observations were made of crickets, honeybees, cattle and turtles during this study. Results indicated that there were at least temporary alterations of typical diurnal behavior of many of the animals studied near or during the totality of the eclipse. In these instances, typical diurnal behaviors were observed to resume after totality. |
