| Summary: | This dataset contains information on the parental behaviour, diet, condition and demography of common guillemots on the Isle of May, south-east Scotland. Annual data are available for 1982 to 2019 inclusive. These data are part of the Isle of May long-term study to assess population trends of seabirds under environmental change (IMLOTS https://www.ceh.ac.uk/our-science/projects/isle-may-long-term-study). ... : Empirical data on common guillemots on the Isle of May derive from observations of breeding behaviour, diet and demography and condition from measures obtained from birds caught temporarily. Data collection was undertaken by experienced observers from the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. All data were proofed before entering the full dataset and processed as per the accompanying metadata and supporting information. Sea surface temperature were obtained from a reputable online source (www.bsh.de/en/Marine_data). Energetic content of diet was determined using freeze-drying techniques and adiabatic bomb-calorimeters ... |
