GPS tracking data and reproductive success for wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) breeding in the Crozet Islands archipelago, Southern Indian Ocean, from 2010 to 2020
GB/NERC/BAS/PDC/02077

Summary

Abstract:
This dataset captures foraging locations from high resolution GPS tracking and reproductive success of 346 wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) breeding on Possession Island, Crozet Islands archipelago, Southern Indian Ocean from 2010 to 2020. GPS locations are available at fix frequencies from 1 to 15 minutes. Breeding success data are accompanied by personality ('boldness') values and sex of each individual. GPS data were used to study the effect of climate variation, and its interaction with personality, on behaviour and reproductive success.


This research was supported by NERC standard grant NE/V015036/1.
