HG_TEXEL - Herring gulls (Larus argentatus, Laridae) breeding in Texel (the Netherlands)
What's in it
HG_TEXEL - Herring gulls (Larus argentatus, 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 HG_TEXEL using trackers developed by the University of Amsterdam Bird Tracking System (UvA-BiTS, http://www.uva-bits.nl ). The study was operational from 2013 until 2022. In total 31 individuals of European herring gull ( Larus argentatus ) have been tagged in their breeding area in the Kelderhuispolder on Texel, a Wadden Island in the Netherlands. The main goal of the study is to identify their primary foraging areas and resources during the breeding season and the consequences of habitat change on these birds. Data are uploaded from the UvA-BiTS database to Movebank and from there archived on Zenodo (see https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking ). No new data are expected. These data were collected by the University of Amsterdam (UvA) in collaboration with the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ). Management of UvA-BiTS field stations and tracker settings was supported by Willem Bouten and Edwin Baaij. …
