The application allows users to select results for different species,
years, seasons, and colonies and display them on a map.
The maps depict kernel distributions or probability density functions
overlaid over all available data points that are based on the
selection criteria.
The polygons displayed represent, with increasing colour intensity,
the 25%, 50% and 75% probability contours of these functions. In other
words, the maps display the likelihood of birds within a given
selection being in the area given the data available.
The application allows for comparison of up to eight selections
displaying the different distributions in differently colored polygons
on the map.
To add a new selection with different criteria use the red "plus"
button in the bottom right corner of the selection bar and another
kernel layer is added to the map.
Information about the selection, such as the number of valid
individual locations, number of colonies, individuals, days included
in the selection is shown on the bottom of selection bar to the left
of the map.
Maps displaying several seasons (i.e. "all seasons") and/or several
colonies (i.e. "all colonies") are composites of included individual
seasons and/or colonies with data.
