Tri-monthly median locations of nine adult Atlantic puffins from northwest Greenland.

Monthly maps indicate segregation of puffins by sex during the non-breeding season with each individual bird represented by a maximum of three points per month. Locations on the Greenland Ice Sheet are a result of individuals rapidly transiting around the southern tip of Greenland from the southwest...

Description
Summary:Monthly maps indicate segregation of puffins by sex during the non-breeding season with each individual bird represented by a maximum of three points per month. Locations on the Greenland Ice Sheet are a result of individuals rapidly transiting around the southern tip of Greenland from the southwest to southeast, thus resulting in a median location on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Data source for country boundaries is [ 28 ] and monthly sea ice extent data is from [ 55 ].
