Encoding Mammal Data on FDS2 Mammal species ID number from Code Key Mammal activity code number taken from Code Key Mammal location code number taken from Code Key Evidence code number taken from list on Code Key NOTE: there is currently no facility to encode the number of mammals of a given species that were observed in a given situation. This can written in the NOTES section on the front page of the SSRF. Repeated entries for the same species can be made if the discovery is materially different. NOTE: Your mammal discovery ‘zone’ extends from the point of departure from the previous SS to the next one including events that occur on the trail between them. Stay focused!
