Roadkill | SPOTTERON vs Gestation Aging

The Citizen Science application "Roadkill" allows you to add roadkill sightings to the database of the Project by the University of natural resources and life sciences (BOKU) in Vienna, Austria. The Project Roadkill is powered by SPOTTERON, a system for citizen science applications on smartphones. By reporting roadkills you are helping by providing streamlined data for the scientific analysis of the current situation regarding the topic. With your entries, the science team then can identify hotspots at which roadkill occur regulary and adress those issues by e.g. building tunnels for migrating toads and frogs, or construct wildlife bridges over roads in cooperation with NGOs and local authorities. Roadkill | SPOTTERON utilizes OpenStreetMap and is designed for modern smartphones. You can register your own SPOTTERON User within the app and start adding spots to the database.

The Gestation Aging app helps the user estimate the age of gestation in the the species of animal chosen. The user picks the ultrasound measurement from the pick list and the app returns the gestation age. The species represented in this app include Bovine (Cow), Ovine (Sheep), Caprine (Goat), Camelid (Alpaca, Llama, Camel), Equine (Horse), Cervine (Deer), Bubaline (Buffalo), Canine (Dog), Feline (Cat) and Porcine (Swine). Within some species (Caprine, Camelid, Cervine and Canine), a list of animal types is offered. Each species has its own set of measured items used to assess the age of the fetus. Gestation age in days is either calculated based on formulas or derived from look up tables. The days to parturition is calculated using the average accepted gestation length and subtracting the gestation age. Also included is a +/- value to illustrate the normal range of gestation length.
