Birds:
On this website the cumulative data of the birds covered in the database can be viewed.
- Sorting and Filtering Data:
By clicking on one of the little triangles located next to each header, you are able to arrange the order of data corresponding to the specified header, while rolling down the menu enables you to display values matching the filter.
- Viewing Background Data:
If you click on the hyperlink present in some of the cells of the chart (specimen, species, organization, project), you can get detailed information on the desired subject.
- Display of the Routes of the Birds on Map:
If you tick the small boxes situated on the left of the name of the birds, you can select the routes of which specimens you would like to see displayed on the map.
If you have already filtered the desired data, then by ticking the box in the 'Select' field, you can select all the displayed specimens at once.
You may display the routes of 10 specimens at the same time.
If you have selected the specimens, you can switch to the Google Maps map view by pressing on the 'Send to Map' button at the top of the page.
Map View:
- „By clicking on 'Showing/Hiding Specimens' you can display the color codes of the various specimens along with the period when their transmitters were active.
- Pressing 'Play' replays the movement of the selected specimens for which the parameters (speed, interval) are to be set in the drop-down menu.
- On the map you can easily navigate with the well-known features of the Google Maps application (zooming, moving the map) and you can also choose between the traditional map view and the satellite view.
- When displaying the routes of certain species/specimens, the coordinator in charge - due to conservation reasons - might restrict the appearance of the coordinates of a bird to decimal degrees, and the zooming of the map, only to show the region, not the exact location.
Partners and Projects:
You can find the list of all the collaborators, partners and projects under the appropriate header. If you click on any of these names, you can navigate to the website of the partner/project.
