Bird Island female Antarctic fur seal geolocation tracking data

To quantify the post-breeding movements of adult female Antarctic females (Arctocephalus gazella) we tracked females using Biotrack GLS (geolocation) data loggers. Females were captured towards the end of the lactation period (March/April) and the GLS tag, affixed to a Dalton flipper tag, was deployed in the trailing edge of the left or right foreflipper. Tags were generally retrieved just prior to or after giving birth the following season. Data files were extracted from the tags using BASTrak software. .lig - light data.tem - temperature data.act - activity dataMetadata for each individual include:Site, year, GLS ID, sex, age, deployment site, lat and long of deployment site, flipper tag number, deployment and retrieval times (GMT).为量化成年雌性南极毛皮海狮（Arctocephalus gazella）的繁殖后移动模式，本研究采用Biotrack GLS（地理定位，Geolocation）数据记录仪对雌性个体进行追踪。研究人员于哺乳期末期（3月/4月）捕获雌性个体，将GLS标签固定于Dalton鳍肢标签之上，并部署于左或右前鳍肢的后缘。标签通常在次年繁殖季分娩前后被回收。使用BASTrak软件从标签中导出数据文件，其中：.lig格式文件存储光照数据，.tem格式文件存储温度数据，.act格式文件存储活动数据。每个个体的元数据包含以下信息：采样地点、研究年份、GLS标签编号、性别、年龄、部署地点、部署地点经纬度、鳍肢标签编号、部署与回收时间（GMT，格林尼治标准时间）。
