Data from "Fine-scale movement data reveal primarily surface foraging and nocturnal flight activity in the endangered Bermuda petrel"

This archive includes data files associated with the paper "Fine-scale movement data reveal primarily surface foraging and nocturnal flight activity in the endangered Bermuda petrel" currently under review in Ecology and Evolution. These data are from tracking Bermuda Petrels (BEPE) at Nonsuch Island during the incubation period in 2023 During the 2023 field season, there were 25 deployments of biologgers on BEPE, of which 18 deployments were successful. Three logger types were used that recorded GPS, TDR, accelerometer (ACC), and/or magnetometer (MAG) data: Axy5 (Technosmart - TDR, ACC, MAG), AxyTrek (Technomsart - GPS, TDR, MAG), and Nano Fix-GEO (PathTrack - GPS). The file "BEPE_2023_deployments.csv" contains metadata about each deployment. Each deployment has a unique identifier (dep_id) based off of the tag id, bird id and start date. The file "BEPE_acc_behaviour_classified.csv" includes the accelerometer derived metrics and behavioural classifications described in the paper. The "raw_data" folder contains files for each individual deployment named after the dep_id field. Biologging data have been trimmed to only include data collected while devices were on birds. All datetime data have been standardized to UTC. Data fields have been standardized across the three device types used. Each biologging file includes columns for all four data types recorded (GPS, TDR, ACC, MAG) to facilitate combining data across logger types for analysis. ##################### BEPE_2023_deployments.csv# This file contains metadata about each logger deployments, data fields are defined below####################species: textcolony: text, colony identitydep_lon: numeric, longitude of deployment in decimal degreesdep_lat:numeric, latitude of deployment in decimal degreesbird_id: text, alphanumeric band code for bird identitytag_type: text, model of device deployeddevice_id: text, alphanumeric code for device identitydep_id: text, unique alphanumeric code for deployment derived from device_id + bird_id + time_releasedperiod: text, breeding stageyear: integer, year of deploymentnest: text, nest identitysex: text, sex of bird, male or femaletime_released: datetime, start time of deployment, YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM UTCtime_activated: datetime, start time of device, YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM UTCtime_recaptured: datetime, end time of deployment, YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM UTCmass_on: numeric, bird mass at start of deployment in grams tarsus: numeric, length of tarsus in mmgps: Y/N, indicates device included gpstdr: Y/N, indicates device included temperature depth recorderacc: Y/N, indicates device included accelerometermag: Y/N, indicates device included magnetometer ##################### BEPE_acc_behaviour_classified.csv# This file contains behavioural classifications with the derived accelerometer metrics.
