Cattle (Bos taurus) high resolution movement paths on Round Island (Mauritius)

Seven 10-hour cattle movement tracks at 1Hz resolution. Cattle data were collected in July 2017 from a group of cows from the French Alps in the Bauges Mountains (Massif des Bauges, 45.69°N, 6.14°196 E). The cattle were tagged with Daily Diary tags (with tri-axial accelerometers and magnetometers; Wildbytes Technologies http://www.wildbyte-technologies.com and Gipsy-5 tags; TechnoSmArt Tracking Systems http://www.technosmart.eu), placed inside custom-built 3D printed ABS plastic housings and attached to commercial nylon cow collars (Fearing Lifestyles, Durham, UK). The accelerometer readings were recorded at a frequency of 20Hz approximately and 6Hz for the magnetometer readings. Both were subsampled to 1Hz, whereas GPS readings were recorded every 15 minutes. The path was then reconstructed using Framework4 (Walker et al., 2015), which uses the Dead Reckoning procedure (Bidder et al., 2015).The data are part of the larger project ALPEN ("Alpine Ungulate Movements") led by Luca Börger, Rowan Brown, Rory Wilson (Swansea University), Anne Loison (Laboratoire d'Ecologie Alpine, UMR CNRS 5553, Universite de Savoie) and Mathieu Garel (O ce National de la Chasse et de la Faune Sauvage) with biologging data collection led by Swansea University. Data collection and dead-reckoning was done by James Redcliffe, using the Framework 4 software, with data pre-processing using the DDMT software (Wildbyte Technologies Ltd).
