April 10, 2025
The GIS shapefile "bison_locations" provides 132996 locations of 5 adult female bison marked with global positioning system (GPS) collars at Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve during February 2021 to November 2023. We provide locations computed at 15-min and 1-h intervals for individual bison and the date and time of acquisition for each location. Users are advised that ground conditions within the study area may change over time, leading to changes in bison distribution.
