Week 24 - Cool weather... data entry

Cool weather this week meant the crew was in the office getting caught up on data entry. Celina, Devin and Beth all pitched in and completed entering the remainder of our 2013 and 2014 field data! They also started matching up their voucher photos with field data, while Danny started updating the complete database and correcting errors. While this is not as pleasant as field work, it is a critical and necessary step to ensuring data analyses go more smoothly in the future! It was impressive to plot (on a map) all of our locations from sampling this summer, since we sampled in parts of 7 states this year compared with just 2 states in 2013! We're looking forward to getting more volunteers out there in 2015 to improve our spatial and temporal coverage of sampling.
