Adelie Penguin Distributions in the Mawson Area Antarctica

This dataset contains data on the habitats, distribution and numbers of Adelie Penguins (Pygoscellis adeliae) in the Mawson area, Antarctica during 1981 and 1988. The data are obtained from aerial photographs obtained at various times, during the 1981-82 and 1988-89 seasons. The results are listed in the documentation. Comparisons are made with census data collected in the 1971-72 summer.

Data from this record has been incorporated into a larger Adelie penguin dataset described by the metadata record - Annual population counts at selected Adelie Penguin colonies within the AAT (SOE_seabird_candidate_sp_AP). It also falls under ASAC project 1219 (ASAC_1219).

本数据集收录了1981年与1988年期间，南极洲莫森（Mawson）区域内阿德利企鹅（Pygoscellis adeliae）的栖息地、分布范围与种群数量相关数据。该数据集的数据源自1981-1982及1988-1989考察季内不同时段获取的航空影像，相关研究结果已整理归档。本研究同时将本次采集数据与1971-1972夏季收集的普查数据进行了对比。

本记录中的数据已被整合至元数据记录《AAT内选定阿德利企鹅繁殖地年度种群数量统计（SOE_seabird_candidate_sp_AP）》所描述的大型阿德利企鹅数据集之中。该数据集同时隶属于ASAC项目1219（ASAC_1219）。
