Description
Summary:This dataset of GPS tracking data for Eurasian Curlew (Numenius arquata) forms the basis of the analysis carried out in Bowgen, K. M., Dodd, S. G., Lindley, P., Burton, N. H. K., & Taylor, R. C. (2022). Curves for Curlew: Identifying Curlew breeding status from GPS tracking data.Ecology and Evolution, 12, e9509. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.9509. This paper detailsa new method to assign breeding status to individual birds during their full breeding season. All points are spatially anonymised but the analyses in the associated paper are replicable with this dataset as it only requires spatial and temporalrelationships between the points rather than to a specific landscape. Data permissions are held jointly between BTO, National Resources Walesand Royal Society for the Protection of Birds as the funders and collaborators of the project. The study is open to collaboration with the full spatially referenced dataset following application to the BTO via the lead authors.
