Beschrijving

<em>HG_OOSTENDE - Herring gulls (Larus argentatus, Laridae) breeding at the southern North Sea coast (Belgium)</em> is a bird tracking dataset published by the <a href=" https://www.inbo.be/en">Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO)</a>. It contains animal tracking data collected by the LifeWatch GPS tracking network for large birds (<a href=" http://lifewatch.be/en/gps-tracking-network-large-birds">http://lifewatch.be/en/gps-tracking-network-large-birds</a>;) for the project/study <strong>HG_OOSTENDE</strong>, using trackers developed by the University of Amsterdam Bird Tracking System (UvA-BiTS, <a href=" http://www.uva-bits.nl">http://www.uva-bits.nl</a>;). The study was operational from 2013 until 2022.&nbsp; In total 60 individuals of European herring gull (<em>Larus argentatus</em>) have been tagged in or near their breeding area at the southern North Sea coast (Ostend and Zeebrugge in Belgium), mainly to study their habitat use. Data are periodically uploaded from the UvA-BiTS database to Movebank and from there archived on Zenodo (see <a href=" https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking">https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking</a>;). No new data are expected. This dataset was collected using infrastructure provided by VLIZ and INBO funded by Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) as part of the Belgian contribution to LifeWatch. Data have been standardized to Darwin Core using the <a href=" https://inbo.github.io/movepub/">movepub</a>; R package and are downsampled to the first GPS position per hour. The original data are available in Stienen et al. (2023, <a href=" https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10054230">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10054230</a>;), a deposit of Movebank study <a href=" https://www.movebank.org/cms/webapp?gwt_fragment=page=studies,path=study986040562">986040562</a>;.
