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 14 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/15685037/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：在比利时安特卫普附近繁殖的地中海鸥（Ichthyaetus melanocephalus，鸥科（Laridae））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。本数据集包含为MEDGULL_ANTWERPEN项目采集的动物追踪数据，数据由LifeWatch大型鸟类GPS追踪网络（http://lifewatch.be/en/gps-tracking-network-large-birds）完成采集，追踪器由Ornitela（https://www.ornitela.com）开发。该项目自2021年起正式运行，研究人员已在比利时安特卫普市附近的繁殖区域为总计14只地中海鸥佩戴了追踪标记，本研究核心目标为探究其栖息地利用模式与迁徙行为。采集得到的数据会自动同步至Movebank平台，并定期从该平台归档至Zenodo，相关归档详情可参考https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking。 文件 本数据包内的所有数据均从Movebank研究项目1609400843导出。数据字段遵循Movebank属性词典（Movebank Attribute Dictionary）规范，详细说明见datapackage.json。本数据包采用无摩擦数据数据包（Frictionless Data Package）结构。用户可通过R语言借助frictionless库，访问https://zenodo.org/records/15685037/files/datapackage.json获取全部数据集。 datapackage.json：数据文件的技术描述文档。 MEDGULL_ANTWERPEN-reference-data.csv：包含动物个体、追踪标记及部署信息的参考数据集。 MEDGULL_ANTWERPEN-gps-yyyy.csv.gz：由追踪器记录的GPS数据，按年份分组归档。 致谢 本数据集依托INBO提供的基础设施完成采集，由佛兰德斯研究基金会（Research Foundation - Flanders, FWO）资助，作为比利时对LifeWatch的贡献项目之一。
