Description
Movebank is an online platform that helps researchers and wildlife managers worldwide manage, share, analyze and archive animal movement data. Movebank's database is designed for locations of individual animals over time, commonly referred to as tracking data, and measurements collected by other sensors attached to animals, as well as information about related animals, tags and deployments. The platform supports public and controlled-access sharing, and offers services for working with data from initial collection through publication, discovery and re-use.
