| Lineage | During deployment and retrieval of tracking devices (PTT, GLS and GPS) penguins were sexed (where possible using bill measurements or through DNA analysis of blood samples), weighed, and bill depth and length measured. Blood samples (taken from meta-tarsal vein in foot for sexing individuals) and feather samples (up to six breast feathers for dietary stable isotope analysis) were collected (from some individuals), and number of eggs of chicks was recorded. Geographic coordinates of the location where deployments were made were recorded and through the Unique ID number assigned to each individual it is possible to correlate these data with the tracking data in IMS-GIS records FK-SAERI-257, FK-SAERI-258, FK-SAERI-259. Data cover a period of two years (2014-2016) and have been collected at eight locations around the Falkland Islands (Bertha's Beach, Bleaker Island, Cape Bougainville, Cape Dolphin, Cow Bay, Diamond Cove, Pebble Island, Rugged Hill). There are two work sheets in the data file: 1) 'Key': contains an explanation of each column heading in the main work sheet; 2) 'GAPDeployments_Penguins_Master': main worksheet which contains the data. |
