Vertebrate ecologists report from Davis Station, 1983 - Rhys Puddicombe
收藏资源简介：
This is a scanned copy of the vertebrate ecologists report from Davis Station in 1983, written by Rhys Puddicombe.Taken from the report:This annual report covers the period 9/11/82 to 10/12/83. As such it is an incomplete record, as some projects are ongoing until mid-January 1984, whilst others will be begun and completed between early December and mid-January. Where this is the case only a brief outline will be presented to illustrate the aims of these projects.This report will generally deal only with practical work and raw results as the majority of analyses will not be completed until early 1984.The two major projects for the year have been seal tagging/resighting, and penguin vomit analysis. Several additional projects are complementary to this work, but for clarity's sake will be covered separately. Finally, several minor projects have involved either observations or data and material collections for analysis by people in Australia.Topics covered by this report:LakesFishingFat collectionBriefing/equipping members of Dick Smith ExplorerElephant Seals - Davis Beach census - Day trips - Branding - Collection of teeth and toenails - Seal census on voyage through pack iceWeddell Seals - Faeces collection for Ken Green - Seal recording - Seal tagging/resighting - Aerial weddell surveys/censusSeabird census from Australia to Mawson Ice EdgeGiant Petrel bandingVomiting of Southern Fulmars and Cape Petrels and bolus collection of Skuas and Giant PetrelsEmperor Penguin vomitingAdelie penguins - Blood collections - Dead adelie collection - Egg collection - Penguin banding - Counts of breeding reference groups - Adelie vomiting
本文件为1983年戴维斯站（Davis Station）脊椎动物生态学家报告的扫描副本，由里斯·帕迪科姆贝（Rhys Puddicombe）撰写。本报告内容摘录如下： 本年度报告的统计时段为1982年11月9日至1983年12月10日。由于部分项目将持续至1984年1月中旬，另有部分项目将于1983年12月初至1984年1月中旬期间启动并完成，因此本报告并非完整的记录。针对此类项目，本报告仅将简要概述其研究目标。 鉴于大部分分析工作将于1984年初完成，本报告仅涵盖实地工作内容与原始观测结果。本年度的两项核心研究任务为海豹标记与重识别，以及企鹅呕吐物分析。另有多项补充性研究项目，为便于清晰阐述，将单独进行说明。最后，部分小型项目仅开展观测、数据采集与样本收集，相关结果将交由澳大利亚相关人员开展后续分析。 本报告涵盖的研究主题如下： 1. 湖泊调查 2. 渔业调查 3. 脂肪样本采集 4. 迪克·史密斯探险队（Dick Smith Explorer）成员培训与装备筹备 5. 南象海豹（Elephant Seals）相关：戴维斯海滩种群普查、单日实地考察、个体标记、牙齿与趾甲样本采集、浮冰航行途中的海豹种群普查 6. 威德尔海豹（Weddell Seals）相关：为肯·格林（Ken Green）收集粪便样本、海豹观测记录、海豹标记与重识别、威德尔海豹航空调查与种群普查 7. 澳大利亚至莫森冰缘（Mawson Ice Edge）海域海鸟种群普查 8. 巨鹱（Giant Petrel）环志 9. 南方管鼻藿（Southern Fulmars）与海角鹱（Cape Petrels）呕吐行为观测，以及贼鸥（Skuas）与巨鹱的食团样本采集 10. 帝企鹅（Emperor Penguin）呕吐行为观测 11. 阿德利企鹅（Adelie penguins）相关：血液样本采集、死亡个体收集、卵样本采集、企鹅环志、繁殖参照种群数量调查、阿德利企鹅呕吐行为观测
