Wildcam
Gorongosa’s
location
is
in
the
Gorongosa
National
Park
in
Mozambique
(Zooniverse,
2018).
Physical
features
include
grasslands
and
relatively
flat
surfaces.
The
type
of
biome
is
savanna
with
little
precipitation
and
temperatures
between
15-30℃
(
HHMI
Biomeviewer
,
2017).
INTRODUCTION
In
Wildcam
Gorongosa,
citizen
scientists
were
asked
to
identify
wildlife
from
trail
cameras
placed
around
the
park
to
document
the
biodiversity
within
Gorongosa
National
Park.
Data
was
also
collected
on
number
of
individuals
and
behavior.
STUDY
DESIGN
RESULTS
There
were
several
trends
noted.
For
instance,
75%
of
animal
observations
(n
=
28)
occurred
within
grasslands,
and
only
one
carnivore
was
observed
in
the
30
photographs.
There
were
no
observations
made
between
11AM
and
5PM.
For
our
RQ,
we
transformed
our
data
into
frequency
counts
to
determine
the
most
common
behavior
observed
in
the
30
photographs.
DATA
ANALYSIS
AND
INTERPRETATION
DISCUSSION
Our
results
indicate
movement
was
the
most
common
behavior
observed.
This
is
consistent
with
our
understanding
of
how
the
trail
cameras
are
motion
sensored;
thus,
it
would
follow
that
animals
in
motion
would
be
captured.
The
fact
that
we
observed
mostly
herbivores
rather
than
carnivores
also
connects
to
how
trophic
levels
are
organized
in
energy
pyramids
with
herbivores
being
more
abundant.
Animals
being
on
the
move
also
corresponds
to
the
environment
observed
as
savannas
provide
little
cover
and
movement
is
necessary
to
avoid
predation,
as
well
as
avoiding
higher
temperatures
during
the
day.
In
addition,
the
temperature
would
be
at
its
highest
during
mid-day
which
accounts
for
the
lack
of
observations
during
this
time.
These
results
shed
further
light
on
the
biodiversity
present
in
Gorongosa
National
Park.

WildCam
Gorongosa
BACKGROUND
INFORMATION
Wildcam
Gorongosa
began
as
partnership
between
HHMI
and
the
Gorongosa
Restoration
Project.
The
goal
is
to
document
the
recovery
of
Gorongosa
National
Park.
232,570
photographs
were
uploaded,
and
all
have
been
identified
through
the
help
of
26,324
volunteers
making
6,007,776
identifications
(Wildcam,
Gorongosa,
2018).
RESEARCH
QUESTION
What
behavior
was
most
common
for
WildCam
Gorongosa?
DATA
COLLECTED
Our
group
analyzed
30
photographs
for
a
total
of
28
sightings
present..
Twelve
of
the
photographs
had
no
animals
present.
We
collected
research
site,
date,
time,
temperature,
moon
phase,
habitat,
animal,
classification,
number
of
animals
present,
behavior,
trophic
level,
and
our
confidence
level
for
animal
identification.
