Muskrat trapping data in the Netherlands 1987 – 2014

Trapped muskrats in the Netherlands have been manually registered at municipal and provincial level since 1941, from 1987 they have been registered on atlas blocks (5 x 5 km) and from 2014 this is done with a smartphone at the trap location. The years of registration have yielded a valuable dataset that has been used in multiple studies. The trapping data is in multiple GBIF datasets with different accuracies: -> MICA - Muskrat and coypu occurrences collected by UVW in the Netherlands (from 2014), data per trapped animal with exact location and date (https://doi.org/10.15468/qjds4c) -> Muskrat trapping data in the Netherlands 1987 – 2014, data on atlasblock level per period of four weeks (this dataset) -> Muskrat trapping data in the Netherlands 1964 – 1986, data on province level per year (to be delivered) -> Muskrat trapping data in the Netherlands 1941 – 1963, data at municipality level per year (to be delivered) -> Coypu trapping data in the Netherlands 1988 – 2013, data at organization level per year (to be delivered)
