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海狗（Arctocephalus gazella）的繁殖后移动模式，我们采用Biotrack GLS（地理定位）数据记录仪对雌性个体进行追踪。研究对象于泌乳期末期（3月/4月）被捕获，GLS标签固定于Dalton鳍状肢标签上，并部署在左前鳍或右前鳍的后缘。标签通常在次年繁殖季分娩前后被回收。使用BASTrak软件从标签中提取数据文件，其中：.lig为光照数据文件，.tem为温度数据文件，.act为活动数据文件。每一个体的元数据包含以下内容：采样地点、年份、GLS编号、性别、年龄、部署地点、部署地点的经纬度、鳍状肢标签编号、部署与回收时间（格林尼治标准时间，GMT）。
