Description
Summary:Original provider: Marie C Martin; Dr Rob Ronconi; Dr R Veit Dataset credits: Data provider Migration and foraging ecology of Greater Shearwater Originating data center Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT) Abstract: Greater Shearwater (Puffinus gravis), seabird Procellariiforme, breed on Tristan da Cunha island group, remote islands midway between South Africa and South America. They complete an extensive transatlantic migration each year to reach the Northern hemisphere. They spend their wintering/staging period in productive waters such as Gulf of Maine, Georges and Grand Banks, Bay of Fundy, Greenland and Europe. While still abundant, the location of the entire world’s population on a single island group makes these birds susceptible to environmental changes. We will be following 22 greater (or great) shearwaters equipped with Satellite tags from Gough island/ Inaccessible island (United Kingdom) to the Northern Atlantic from October 2009 to October 2010. Our first objective is tracking pre-laying ...
