1936Ardea XXV. 60 An attempt has been made to give an exhaustive description of the habits (an ethogram) of the European Avocet. 1964Oceanogr. & Marine Biol. II. 457 Behaviour is observed..and the various elements or movements of the behaviour are carefully described. In this way an ethogram, or catalogue of the behavioural repertoire, of the species is obtained, and names can be assigned to the various components. 1977Savage & Rumbaugh in D. M. Rumbaugh Lang.
