A web-based tool for transfering immediate information on marmot [Un outil associé au réseau de la toile pour le transfert immédiat d'informations sur la marmotte].

Résumé

We will present a web-based tool that allows the immediate introduction of localization data of marmots and, at the same time, permits authenticated users to easily access these data. The site has an easy interface so any non-expert can introduce data on the localization of marmots around the world, and has a double use: 1) the main objective is providing an interface for introducing localization points and characteristics of found burrow sites (number of individuals, pictures uploading…); more, the high level of detail of Google Maps skips the need of having had to acquire any geographical information via GPS; and 2) it will be possible for authenticated users (administration, university,…) to access to the updated databases of introduced data. The site has also a divulgative side, with biological information about the species, sites where they can be observed, and pictures.
