Definition

Strike Frequency counts trap or strike actuations per hour in carnivorous cultivars, detected by the rapid-motion channel of the mesh. It is a direct behavioural read used in handling-risk and aggression assessment.

Why it matters

Strike rate is a leading behavioural signal: a rising rate marks an agitated or hyper-responsive specimen and raises handling risk. It feeds the Specimen Aggression Index and gates the approach posture for carnivorous enclosures.

Formula

F_strike = qualified actuations / hour

Actuations detected by high-rate accelerometry; a trap
closure signature must clear amplitude and duration gates
to count, separating true strikes from wind or contact.

Units & Scale

strikes·h⁻¹, integer, per specimen with cohort roll-up. Increasing-is-worse; upper thresholds apply.

Sampling & Source

Thresholds

Nominal · 0–6 strikes·h⁻¹ — normal foraging

OK

Warning · > 15 — heightened response

WARN

Critical · > 30 — aggression escalation

CRIT

Handling posture. A specimen above the critical band has manual-handling permits suspended and feeding/maintenance deferred to a calm window per the GCL-4 and exposure-response procedures.
