TransektCount
New in Version 5.1.1:
- Enhanced preselection for adding, deleting or editing species of the counting list
- Code improvements
- Docs updated
- Bugfix for editing species
Features:
- Data collection is based on a transect inspection.
- Databases refer to a transect and can be individually created and customised within the app with regard to metadata, transect sections and expected species.
- The app contains an internal list with many European species and has a prepared database for a transect section with the most common species to be expected in Germany as a starting point for direct use.
- Export of the current species list for later re-import by TransektCount or import by the complementary app TourCount.
- Separate counters for internal/external counting areas and separately for ♂-♀-indeterminate, ♂, ♀, pupa, caterpillar or egg.
- Results page with prepared presentation for transfer to the input mask of Butterfly Monitoring Germany (web.app.ufz.de/tagfalter-monitoring/).
- The result can be output as an SQLite-DB file or as a CSV table (e.g. for transfer and further use in a spreadsheet programme on a PC).
- The help contains detailed user instructions.
- TransektCount supports counting in German, English, French, Italian and Spanish language and provides locale species names in these languages.
Functions:
- Duplicate and delete transect sections.
- Editing the transect section lists (adding and deleting species and editing terms).
- Editor for metadata in preparation for an inspection.
- Counter page per section with scroll-down list for species selection.
- Species editor for annotation and bulk counter entries.
- Optionally, GPS support for an info to change the current section.
- The results page shows metadata, notes, totals and counting results per species and transect section.
Prerequisites:
The app requires
- storage access permit for importing and exporting counting data,
- the permit to set the screen brightness,
- the permit to prevent the sleep mode und
- optionally, the permit to get the exact location for recognizing the current transect section.
The device screen should have a minimum resolution of 1024 x 1920 pixels.
The app can be used with Android version 7.1 (Nougat) or newer.
Documentation is provided under:
https://github.com/wistein/TransektCount/tree/master/docs.
TransektCount is one of two apps for monitoring European butterflies.
The second app, TourCount, supports the species-specific and individually GPS-localised counting of butterflies on any walk in nature.
Both apps use the coding scheme of Karsholt/Razowski for European butterflies and thus contain only European butterfly pictures.
