USING THE INSTITUTION STATISTICS TAB

Contact support@Species360.org

 

This tab is found under My Institution > Institution Statistics. This tab displays animal, staff and collection counts and can be very useful for answering those common questions so often received such as: How many species do you have? How many animals do you hold? How many Births have you had in the past year?

 

Animal Statistics

Announcements

• A count of the number of Animals you have marked as Available and the number of Species you want to acquire. To view the actual information, go to My Institution tab > Animals Available or Species Wanted grids.

 

Birth Count

• The number of Births/Hatches in the last 12 months.

 

Animals Currently On Site

• This displays the number of Individuals and Group members that you physically hold. This is usually the count that people are looking for when they ask “How many animals do you have?”.
• It also displays the number of fetuses, eggs, groups of eggs or egg masses you have recorded. This information is not usually included in the number of animals you have but is included in the Grand Total for this grid.

 

Owned and/or On Site

• This count includes any Individuals or Groups that you may have out on loan as well as those you physically hold. Animals out on loan are typically not included when asked how many animals you have.
• It also includes the number of fetuses, eggs, groups of eggs or egg masses that you have out-on-loan. These are included in the Grand Total for this grid.

 

Taxonomy Diversity

• Displays the number of Species and Subspecies that you hold or own. If you do not physically hold an animal of a Species but you do have one or more out on loan, that Species will be included in the count.
