O_SCHIERMONNIKOOG - Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus, Haematopodidae) breeding on Schiermonnikoog (the Netherlands)

O_SCHIERMONNIKOOG - Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus, Haematopodidae) breeding on Schiermonnikoog (the Netherlands) is a bird tracking dataset published by Sovon, the University of Amsterdam and the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). It contains animal tracking data collected during CHIRP (Cumulative Human Impact on biRd Populations) for the study O_SCHIERMONNIKOOG using trackers developed by the University of Amsterdam Bird Tracking System (UvA-BiTS, http://www.uva-bits.nl). The study was operational from 2008 to 2014. In total 43 individuals of Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus) have been tagged as a breeding bird on the saltmarshes of the island Schiermonnikoog (the Netherlands), mainly to study their space use both during the breeding season and winter season. 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. See van der Kolk et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1123.90623) for a more detailed description of this dataset. Data in this package are exported from Movebank study O_SCHIERMONNIKOOG - Eurasian oystercatchers (Haematopus ostralegus, Haematopodidae) breeding on Schiermonnikoog (the Netherlands) (Movebank Study ID 1605799506), which can be viewed at https://www.movebank.org/cms/webapp?gwt_fragment=page=studies,path=study1605799506. Fields in the data follow the Movebank Attribute Dictionary (http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB) and are described in datapackage.json. Files Files are structured as a Frictionless Data Package. You can access all data in R via https://zenodo.org/record/8238669/files/datapackage.json using frictionless. datapackage.json: technical description of the data files. O_SCHIERMONNIKOOG-reference-data.csv: reference data about the animals, tags and deployments. O_SCHIERMONNIKOOG-gps-yyyy.csv.gz: GPS data recorded by the tags, grouped by year. O_SCHIERMONNIKOOG-acceleration-yyyy.csv.gz: acceleration data recorded by the tags, grouped by year.These data were collected by Sovon in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam (UvA). Funding was provided by NAM and supported by the UvA-BiTS virtual lab on the Dutch national e-infrastructure, built with support of LifeWatch, the Netherlands eScience Center, SURFsara and SURFfoundation. The dataset was published with funding from Stichting NLBIF - Netherlands Biodiversity Information Facility
