MEDGULL_ANTWERPEN - Mediterranean gulls (Ichthyaetus melanocephalus, Laridae) breeding near Antwerp (Belgium)

MEDGULL_ANTWERPEN - Mediterranean gulls (Ichthyaetus melanocephalus, Laridae) breeding near Antwerp (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 MEDGULL_ANTWERPEN, using trackers developed by Ornitela (https://www.ornitela.com). The study has been operational since 2021. In total 4 individuals of Mediterranean gull (Ichthyaetus melanocephalus) have been tagged in their breeding area near the city of Antwerp (Belgium), mainly to study their habitat use and migration behaviour. Data are automatically synced with Movebank and from there periodically archived on Zenodo (see https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking). Files Data in this package are exported from Movebank study 1609400843. Fields in the data follow the Movebank Attribute Dictionary and are described in datapackage.json. Files are structured as a Frictionless Data Package. You can access all data in R via https://zenodo.org/records/6599273/files/datapackage.json using frictionless. datapackage.json: technical description of the data files. MEDGULL_ANTWERPEN-reference-data.csv: reference data about the animals, tags and deployments. MEDGULL_ANTWERPEN-gps-yyyy.csv.gz: GPS data recorded by the tags, grouped by year. Acknowledgements This dataset was collected using infrastructure provided by INBO and funded by Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) as part of the Belgian contribution to LifeWatch.MEDGULL_ANTWERPEN数据集说明 本数据集由比利时自然与森林研究所（Research Institute for Nature and Forest, INBO）发布，记录了在比利时安特卫普周边繁殖的地中海鸥（Ichthyaetus melanocephalus，鸥科Laridae）的追踪数据。 数据集包含为MEDGULL_ANTWERPEN项目采集的动物追踪信息，数据由大型鸟类LifeWatch GPS追踪网络（http://lifewatch.be/en/gps-tracking-network-large-birds）采集，所用追踪设备由Ornitela公司开发（https://www.ornitela.com）。该研究自2021年起正式启动运行。 研究团队已在比利时安特卫普市附近的地中海鸥繁殖栖息地内，为共计4只地中海鸥个体佩戴了追踪标记，核心研究目标为其栖息地利用模式与迁徙行为特征。所有数据会自动同步至Movebank平台，并定期从该平台归档至Zenodo平台（详见https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking）。 ## 数据文件 本数据包内的数据均导出自Movebank平台编号为1609400843的研究项目。数据字段遵循Movebank属性字典（Movebank Attribute Dictionary）规范，相关详细说明收录于datapackage.json文件中。所有文件采用无摩擦数据包（Frictionless Data Package）格式进行组织。用户可通过R语言的frictionless工具包，访问链接https://zenodo.org/records/6599273/files/datapackage.json以获取完整数据集。 具体文件说明如下： 1. datapackage.json：数据文件的技术规范说明文档 2. MEDGULL_ANTWERPEN-reference-data.csv：包含研究对象个体、追踪标记及部署信息的参考数据集 3.
