What's in it
LBBG_TEXEL - Lesser black-backed gulls (Larus fuscus, Laridae) breeding in Texel (the Netherlands) is a bird tracking dataset published by the University of Amsterdam and the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO) . It contains animal tracking data for the study LBBG_TEXEL using trackers developed by the University of Amsterdam Bird Tracking System (UvA-BiTS, http://www.uva-bits.nl ). The study has been operational since 2008. In total 95 adult individuals of lesser black-backed gull ( Larus fuscus ) have been tagged in their breeding area in the Kelderhuispolder on Texel, a Wadden Island in the Netherlands. Data from 4 additionally tagged juveniles are not included. The main goal of the study is to to identify intrinsic and external drivers of movement and the energetic costs of locomotion, from fine scale flight behaviour to seasonal migrations. Data are uploaded from the UvA-BiTS database to Movebank and from there archived on Zenodo (see https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking ). Data collected since 2021 are not publicly available. These data were collected by the University of Amsterdam (UvA) in collaboration with the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research …
