Description:

Abstract:

This dataset represents Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) radio-telemetry data collected February 1981-July 2011. These data were collected by three entities: the 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:

Prior to July 1, 2004, the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute (FWRI) was known as the Florida Marine Research Institute (FMRI). The institute name has not been changed in historical data sets or references to work completed by the Florida Marine Research Institute. The institute name has been changed in references to ongoing research, new research, and contact information.

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.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Received Export_Output.dbf 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.
