Summary

Darwin Plus Project 053 Nightingale Island, Tristan da Cunha http://www.darwininitiative.org.uk/documents/DPLUS053/24132/DPLUS053%20AR1%20-%20edited.pdf

The dataset is under Embargo until data analysis has been completed and ready to be published as Open Data.

Geolocators (GLS) were attached to northern rockhopper penguins breeding on Nightingale Island (37°25'S, 12°28'W; 4 km2) with the aim to study the species’ dispersal in the inter-breeding period, 2017. This data successfully augmented and complement existing data sets for the species breeding on Nightingale Island and enhanced our understanding of the species’ distribution at sea throughout their annual cycle. There are four different data types for each penguin a) the unprocessed light sensor data, b) the unprocessed activity (wet/dry) data, c) the unprocessed temperature data and d) the estimated positions using the BAStag and SGAT packages in R. Data were collected as part of the Darwin Plus funded Project Pinnamin, 2016 – 2018, a joint multi-institutional and interdisciplinary collaboration between the RSPB, Tristan da Cunha government, British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) and the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) in South Africa.
