- Abstract:
-
This dataset represents Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) radio-telemetry data collected February 1981-June 2020. These data were collected by three entities: Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), Everglades National Park (ENP), and Big Cypress National Preserve (BCNP). Methodology for the collection of telemetry locations was described by Land et al. (2008). Many of these panther locations were collected during the diurnal resting period (i.e., during early to mid-morning [Comiskey et al., 2002; Beier et al., 2003]).
- Purpose: Monitor Florida panther activities.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Location data were contributed by the FWC, BCNP, and ENP in a cooperative effort.

- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
-
QAQC not completed. All attribute values fall within defined parameters. The 'Habitat' field was completed using two different land use/land cover classification schemes depending on the agency tracking panthers on a given day. In all, the different schemata combined with typing errors led to >75 categories, many of which had overlapping characteristics.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Logically consistent. All attribute values fall within defined values.

These data are complete as of the data available to FWRI in September 2020.

- Process_Description:
-
Received panther telemetry database from Panther Team, containing a cumulative table of spatial coordinates of telemetry locations since Feb 1981, as well as associated attributes. Flights for each radio-collared panther were conducted aerially, 3 times a week. Panthers that were unable to be located were occasionally noted in the dataset. These null locations were removed before the table was converted to a shapefile, with the Florida Modified Albers projection.
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Date: 201808
- Process_Description:
-
ISOLATE present year data and add to bottom of last year's shapefile because their table contains null values for locations.
1. Use filter to isolate data from previous year (07/01 thru 06/30) onto another
worksheet.
2. Create XY Event using projection UTM17N NAD83.
3. Project to NAD83 Florida GDL Albers (Meters).
3. Using the Merge data management tool, combine this years data to existing shapefile.
4. Update metadata record.

ISOLATE present year data and add to bottom of last year's shapefile because their table contains null values for locations.
1. Isolate data from previous year (07/01 thru 06/30) onto another
worksheet. (Filter was not working for several date values due to syntax errors -- so this was done manually)
2. Create XY Event using projection UTM17N NAD83.
3. Project to NAD83 Florida GDL Albers (Meters).
3. Using the Merge data management tool, combine this years data to existing shapefile.
