Time-depth recorders attached to chick-rearing murres in 2006

Raw text files generated by Lotek download software. After a preamble including the logger serial number, the data file presents three columns: the time & date, the temperature in degrees Celsius and the pressure in psi. To convert psi into approximate depth, multiply by 0.705. The text files are organized into two folders: FW and DLW. The FW folders include all those birds that were observed during feeding watches. The DLW folder includes all those birds that were injected with doubly-labelled water (except controls labelled as "CON"). There was no statistical difference in the behaviour of DLW-injected and control birds (for more details, see: http://datadryad.org/resource/doi:10.5061/dryad.23td2). Each folder then has a number of subfolders representing the different deployment dates. Each file name also has either all eight digits of the band number (if the band number started with 785) or the last five digits of the band number (if the band number started with 996, which was dropped for simplification in the field) of the individual bird to whom the TDR was attached. The band number serves as the identifier to relate it to the meta-data file that includes sex, age and other attributes of the bird. In some cases, additional information (e.g. site location) were included in the file name to simplify work in the field, but that is not needed to uniquely identify the bird.
