Snapshot Serengeti Lab - Preview version:
PREVIEW: What can community science data reveal about the ecology of Serengeti wildlife?
This is a multi-week, interactive lab that will introduce you to ongoing ecological research on the wildlife of the Serengeti tropical savannah.
[[NOTE: This version of the Snapshot Serengeti module is a preview version. To deploy the R-shiny apps that make this module interactive you will need to deploy the apps on a Shiny Server or using the Shinyapp.io cloud hosting platform.
The apps themselves can be downloaded from the following github repository:
github.com/cgwillis/SnapshotSerengetiLab
As of summer 2022 the OCELOTS research coordination network is working to create javascript-based versions of the interactives so that potential users will not have to host the shiny apps themselves. For support reach please contact module authors Jeff Klemens or Charlie Willis. ]]

In this lab sequence, you will generate real scientific data to be collected in a database used for research on Serengeti wildlife populations. Additionally, you will learn to use the database to answer your own questions about Serengeti wildlife. This week you will become familiarized with the Snapshot Serengeti project and its data, practice making observations from photos and forming a hypothesis about what you observe.
Javascript is required to use Gala.
