Buffalo Mortality Table

This table contains a description of Buffalo mortalities (Old or fresh). Buffalo mortalities were encountered by field technicians during their daily movements in the field, either accidentally coming across them on foot, by actively pursuing vultures, or because the animal had a VHF or GPS collar. See Readme fil

Buffalo Named

This is a reference table with one row per known buffalo (either based on visual characteristics or a VHF, GPS, or marker collar). This table contains data on all Identified buffalo. Each row refers to a single buffalo. The name field is a unique identifier. These were buffalo that were thought to be easily identifiable in field and were used to increase sample number for mark recapture analysis

Herd Sightings Freq

his table contains the VHF frequencies of those individuals “seen” in each herd at a specific sighting. This table should be used in conjunction with the herd sighting table by linking on HerdName and Date. Note that individuals were often not visually observed but were deduced to be in the herd based upon radio-telemetry

Buffalo Disease Tests

Table contains the data on all disease testing (Bovine TB, Brucellosis, and Rift Valley Fever) done on the captured buffalo
