AMMonitor: Remote wildlife monitoring for adaptive management
Summary
The AMMonitor community is a collaboration of independent projects that use the R package, AMMonitor, to monitor wildlife with remotely deployed devices such as trail cameras and audio recorders. The media data (audio, photos, and video and their metadata) comprise a repository for use in (1) ongoing adaptive management and wildlife research, and (2) the development of new predictive models, via machine learning, for the automated identification of target wildlife species from media. Each collaborating project exists as a child-item of this ScienceBase community and releases wildlife monitoring data as formal data releases. Each data release includes metadata as CSV files and zipped media files. The AMMonitor package can be used [...]

The AMMonitor community is a collaboration of independent projects that use the R package, AMMonitor, to monitor wildlife with remotely deployed devices such as trail cameras and audio recorders. The media data (audio, photos, and video and their metadata) comprise a repository for use in (1) ongoing adaptive management and wildlife research, and (2) the development of new predictive models, via machine learning, for the automated identification of target wildlife species from media.
Each collaborating project exists as a child-item of this ScienceBase community and releases wildlife monitoring data as formal data releases. Each data release includes metadata as CSV files and zipped media files. The AMMonitor package can be used to "rehydrate" each release, permitting the reuse of released data for a variety of purposes.
