We make biodiversity research open & reproducible through data, standards and software. Based at @inbo.be in Belgium. https://oscibio.inbo.be
๐ฆ We just released a new version (0.4.0) of our R package camtrapdp.
๐ This release includes lots of new functionality, such as merging and writing Camera Trap Data Packages, updating taxa or rounding coordinates, and conversion to EML.

Weather radars continuously register the movements of billions of animals in the air! We have now published datasets covering large parts of Europe, providing an overview of the aerial habitat in a way no other method can.
Data is available on Alofdata.eu , see our blogpost:
