Koala Health Data (health parameters, body condition and chlamydia status)

This data set is the health data of koalas living in the Snowy Monaro region in NSW after a major fire event (the 2019-2020 megafires). It includes: age, sex, weight, tooth wear score, body condition, haematological and biochemical parameters. Many koalas came into care after the 2019-2020 megafires. For my research, we collected health data from koalas that came into care and released into the burnt landscape once they had recovered (rehabilitated individuals), non-rehabilitated resident koalas living in the burnt landscape and non-rehabilitated koalas living in an unburnt area. This health data was collected from these three groups of koalas at multiple time points. Rehabilitated koalas received a health check when they came into care into 2020 (rescue), another health check when they received a GPS-tracking collar (pre-release) and another 9 months later when the collar was removed (recapture). Non-rehabilitated resident koalas living in the burnt and unburnt received the pre-release and recapture check. Data was collected by a wildlife veterinarian while the koala was under anaesthetic.

该数据集包含新南威尔士州Snowy Monaro地区考拉在重大火灾事件（2019-2020年特大火灾，megafires）后的健康数据，具体涵盖年龄、性别、体重、牙齿磨损评分、身体状况、血液学参数及生化参数。2019-2020年特大火灾后，众多考拉被纳入救助。本研究中，我们收集了三类考拉的健康数据：经救助康复后被放归烧毁区域的个体（已康复个体）、栖息于烧毁区域且未接受康复的本地考拉、以及栖息于未烧毁区域且未接受康复的考拉。这些数据在多个时间点采集自上述三类群体：已康复考拉于2020年被纳入救助时（救助阶段）、佩戴GPS追踪项圈前（放归前阶段）、以及9个月后项圈移除时（重捕阶段）接受健康检查；而栖息于烧毁与未烧毁区域的未康复本地考拉则接受了放归前及重捕阶段的检查。所有数据均由野生动物兽医在考拉麻醉状态下采集。
