Is there a resource that quantifies expansion of the number of Motus receivers by year? In other words, can we find statistics on number of stations in 2024 vs 2025?
Using the Motus R book code you can download the project-???.motus database (where ??? is projectID). If you look at the recvDeps table, it should have receivers and tsStart and tsEnd dates. These are generally uploaded as Real numbers and you have to convert them to dates. I think something like lubridate::date(recvDeps$tsStart) or as.dateTime(recvDeps$tsStart) will convert the Real number to a date. I have some very old example code here: StationMapping/StationMapping.Rmd at master · southern-sierra-research/StationMapping · GitHub
