Abstract

This animal tracking dataset is derived from Spanoghe et al. (2022, <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6568082">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6568082</a>) a deposit of Movebank study <a href="https://www.movebank.org/cms/webapp?gwt_fragment=page=studies,path=study938783961">938783961</a>. Data have been standardized to Darwin Core using the <a href="https://inbo.github.io/movepub/">movepub</a> R package and are downsampled to the first GPS position per hour. The original dataset description follows.
<em>MH_ANTWERPEN - Western marsh harriers (Circus aeruginosus, Accipitridae) breeding near Antwerp (Belgium)</em> is a bird tracking dataset published by the <a href="https://www.inbo.be/en">Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO)</a>. It contains animal tracking data collected by the LifeWatch GPS tracking network for large birds (<a href="http://lifewatch.be/en/gps-tracking-network-large-birds">http://lifewatch.be/en/gps-tracking-network-large-birds</a>) for the project/study <strong>MH_ANTWERPEN</strong>, using trackers developed by the University of Amsterdam Bird Tracking System (UvA-BiTS, <a href="http://www.uva-bits.nl">http://www.uva-bits.nl</a>). The study has been operational since 2018. In total 4 individuals of Western marsh harriers (<em>Circus aeruginosus</em>) have been tagged in their breeding area near the city of Antwerp (Belgium), mainly to study their habitat use and migration behaviour. Data are periodically uploaded from the UvA-BiTS database to Movebank and from there archived on Zenodo (see <a href="https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking">https://github.com/inbo/bird-tracking</a>).

This dataset was collected using infrastructure provided by INBO and funded by Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) as part of the Belgian contribution to LifeWatch.
