Aldabra giant tortoise (Aldabrachelys gigantea) high resolution movement path on Round Island (Mauritius)

Aldabra giant tortoise (<i>Aldabrachelys gigantea</i>) 14-day dead-reckoned movement track (1 Hz resolution) obtained from 40Hz accelerometer and magnetometer data, collected using the 'Daily Diary' tag (Wildbyte Technologies Ltd, Swansea University, UK) and GPS data collected twice daily during daytime (am &amp; pm). The data are part of the larger project "Tracking giant tortoise behaviour to manage re‐wilding" led by Durrell Conservation Trust and MauritianWildlife Foundation, with biologging data collection led by Swansea University and Nik Cole. 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). Location data are projected to UTM40. We thank the National Parks and Conservation Service, Ministry of Agro-Industry for permission to access Round Island and undertake this research through the Tortoise Rewilding Project.
