trait-intertegular-distance

Repository with datasets measuring intertegular distance from the Big Bee project. Measurements were recorded using Notes From Nature data portal and microscope measurements.

data description

Each folder contains several files:

• 22794_reconciled.csv - reconciled using Notes from Nature
• 22794_summary.html - Summary of the data collection including number of people who participated online
• 22794_unreconciled.csv - unreconciled data, suggested to use this file for evaluating datasets
• ucsbees-measurements-classifications.csv - ?

protocols used to measure ITS in submitted data

Several methods are used to measure ITS within this dataset. Those methods are described here.

Crowd source measurements via Notes from Nature: using a custom measurement tool in Notes From Nature. Five measurements are created from five different users on Notes from Nature. Measurements are reconciled to one measurement. See tutorial on https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/md68135/notes-from-nature-big-bee-bonanza.

Measured under microscope: measured under microscope using graticule.
