O_WESTERSCHELDE - Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus, Haematopodidae) breeding in East Flanders (Belgium) [subsampled representation]

This animal tracking dataset is derived from Spanoghe et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5879096) a deposit of Movebank study 1099562810. Data have been standardized to Darwin Core using the movepub R package and are downsampled to the first GPS position per hour. The original dataset description follows. O_WESTERSCHELDE - Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus, Haematopodidae) breeding in East Flanders (Belgium) is a bird tracking dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). It contains animal tracking data collected by the LifeWatch GPS tracking network for large birds (http://lifewatch.be/en/gps-tracking-network-large-birds) for the project/study O_WESTERSCHELDE, using trackers developed by the University of Amsterdam Bird Tracking System (UvA-BiTS, http://www.uva-bits.nl). The study has been operational since 2018. In total 13 individuals of Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus) have been tagged in their breeding area in East Flanders (Belgium), west of the river Scheldt, mainly to study their habitat use on mudflats of the Western Scheldt (the Netherlands). Data are uploaded from the UvA-BiTS database to Movebank and from there archived on Zenodo (see https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking). No new data are expected. This dataset was collected using infrastructure provided by INBO and funded by Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) as part of the Belgian contribution to LifeWatch. Additional funding was provided by the Sovon Dutch Centre for Field Ornithology.本动物追踪数据集源自Spanoghe等人（2022年，https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5879096）发布的Movebank研究1099562810存档数据。数据已通过movepub R包标准化为达尔文核心（Darwin Core）格式，并已下采样至每小时首个GPS定位点。以下为该数据集的原始说明文本。 O_WESTERSCHELDE项目：在比利时东佛兰德省繁殖的欧亚蛎鹬（*Haematopus ostralegus*，蛎鹬科Haematopodidae）鸟类追踪数据集，由比利时自然与森林研究所（Research Institute for Nature and Forest, INBO）发布。本数据集包含O_WESTERSCHELDE项目依托LifeWatch大型鸟类GPS追踪网络（http://lifewatch.be/en/gps-tracking-network-large-birds）采集的动物追踪数据，追踪设备采用阿姆斯特丹大学鸟类追踪系统（University of Amsterdam Bird Tracking System, UvA-BiTS, http://www.uva-bits.nl）研发的追踪器。本研究自2018年起正式运行，研究团队在比利时斯海尔德河以西的东佛兰德省繁殖区域内，共计为13只欧亚蛎鹬（*Haematopus ostralegus*）佩戴了追踪标记，核心研究目标为探究其在荷兰西斯海尔德潮间带泥滩的栖息地利用模式。数据先从UvA-BiTS数据库上传至Movebank平台，随后存档至Zenodo平台（详情见https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking），目前暂无新增数据计划。 本数据集依托INBO提供的基础设施完成采集，经费由弗拉芒研究基金会（Research Foundation - Flanders, FWO）资助，作为比利时对LifeWatch计划的贡献项目之一。额外经费由荷兰野外鸟类学中心Sovon（Sovon Dutch Centre for Field Ornithology）提供。
