Tracking of Short-tailed shearwaters

This record presents data collected from tagged and recaptured Short-tailed shearwaters (Puffinus tenuirostris), with data presented throughout the Southern Ocean. The study was initially conducted on Wedge Island (43 km2), southern Tasmania (43o 07' S, 147o 40' E). Fifty geolocation archival (GLS) tag deployments were made on 34 adult birds in the pre-laying exodus (n = 18), incubation (n = 12) and early chick-rearing (ECR) phases (n = 20). In 2012, 12 birds were tracked during the pre-laying exodus. GLS tags were deployed between the 10th and the 18th of October. Ten birds were tracked from Wedge Island (as in 2010) and 2 were tracked from Whalebone Point, Bruny Island (43.44 South, 147.23 East; birds 22 and 80).

本记录呈现了在南大洋全域收集的短尾鹱（Puffinus tenuirostris）标记与重捕数据。研究最初于塔斯马尼亚南部的楔形岛（面积43平方公里，南纬43°07′，东经147°40′）开展。研究人员在产卵前迁徙期（n=18）、孵化期（n=12）及早期育雏期（ECR，n=20）三个阶段，向34只成鸟部署了50个地理定位存档标签（GLS标签）。

2012年，产卵前迁徙期共追踪12只鸟类。GLS标签于10月10日至18日期间部署，其中10只鸟类的追踪地点为楔形岛（与2010年一致），另外2只位于布鲁尼岛的鲸骨角（南纬43.44°，东经147.23°；编号22与80的个体）。
