Dataset

Description

MICA - Muskrat and coypu camera trap observations in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany is an occurrence dataset published by the Research Institute of Nature and Forest (INBO). It is part of the LIFE project MICA, in which innovative techniques are tested for a more efficient control of muskrat and coypu populations, both invasive species. This dataset contains muskrat and coypu observations collected with camera traps, as well as many other observed species. Here it is published as a standardized Darwin Core Archive and includes for each occurrence record an occurrenceID, date, location, the number of recorded individuals, and scientific name (in the event core) and all associated camera trap images (in the multimedia extension). Issues with the dataset can be reported at https://github.com/inbo/mica-occurrences/issues
