Summary

This volume's release consists of 26141 media files captured by autonomous wildlife monitoring devices under the project, Indiana Dunes National Park. The attached files listed below include several CSV files that provide information about the data release. The file, "media.csv" provides the metadata about the media, such as filename and date/time of capture. The actual media files are housed within folders under the volume's "child items" as compressed files. A critical CSV file is "dictionary.csv", which describes each CSV file, including field names, data types, descriptions, and the relationship of each field to fields other CSV files. Some of the media files may have been "tagged" or "annotated" by either humans or by machine [...]

Purpose

Biological diversity was a primary reason for the creation of Indiana Dunes National Park. Situated on the shores of Lake Michigan, the national park is located in several ecological transition zones, the diversity is many times greater than most areas its size. In fact, Indiana Dunes National Park is fourth in biological diversity among the national parks despite having only 15,000 acres. The moderating effect of Lake Michigan, along with the great variety of habitats within a small area, explain much of the plant and animal diversity. 46 species of mammals, 18 species of amphibians, 23 species of reptiles, 71 species of fish, 60 species of butterflies, and 60 species of dragonflies and damselflies can be found here. The largest herbivore is the white-tailed deer while the largest predator is the coyote. Over 350 species of birds have been identified, with 113 of these being regular nesters.
