==Data Files==
'''Pikmin Behavior''' ({{j|ピクミンの生態|Pikumin no Seitai}}, lit.: "Pikmin Ecology"; '''Pikminology''' in [[Region|Europe]]) is a category from the [[Exploration Notes]] menu in ''[[Pikmin 3]]''.

Although the category itself is called "Pikmin Behavior" in the US and "Pikminology" in Europe, any data files related to the way Pikmin behave have the word "Pikminology" on their title in both regions.
