Dama Gazelles Texas GPS Collar Data Mungall and Cooper
Description
Dama Gazelles are critically endangered within their native African range, however animals kept on large ranches in Texas provide a unique opportunity to study social behavior and habitat requirements of Dama Gazelles in near free range conditions. This data set consists of data from Lotek GPS collars deployed on animals on 2 Texas ranches for one year each. This data is the basis of several publications by Mungall and Cooper describing the movements, social behavior and spatial dynamics of Dama Gazelles. The information is required for species management and reintroduction of the Dama Gazelles to their native countries.
