TransektCount

TransectCount supports the species-specific counting of butterflies per transect section according to the European Butterfly Monitoring Scheme method. It is meant for transect counters to ease registering butterflies and day-flying moth during transect surveys.

New in Version 5.1.6:

- Code improvements

- GPX file import recognizes also files having 1 track with n track segments instead of having n tracks

- Entering species notes proposed with predefined wordings like "Photo", "Flyby", "New species", …

- Cloud %-values rounded to multiples of 10

- More restrictive plausi for input of metadata numbers

- Name composition for exported files changed

- "Help" text updated

- Docs updated

- Bugfix for importing a species list

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 results can be exported in formatted XLSX or CSV format, as well as in an SQLite database file (e.g. to transfer them to a PC, for easier reading in a spreadsheet program, or for further processing).

- The help contains detailed user instructions.
