Black-tailed Godwit Movement Explorer

Godwit Movement Explorer is a shiny app that allows anyone to navigate and explore black-tailed godwit Limosa limosa tracking data swiftly and conveniently. It was designed and created by Taylor Craft, and, among other tasks, one can quickly identify individuals tracked in a given area of interest, and immediately extract how many locations exist for those individuals in that area.

Black-tailed Godwit site connectivity

The Shiny app below, “Connectivity Perspectives”, allows you to explore how the migrations of Black-tailed Godwits connect sites throughout the East Atlantic Flyway. This app was developed for the paper Beal et al. (2025), as a support tool to facilitate discovering the complex movement networks that Godwits create.
