| Lineage | ARGOS satellite tags were deployed on 10 adult females from Bird Island over January-March 2000 (lactation period) by Dave Thomson (St Andrews Uni) and his team. The raw ARGOS locations were provided as an excel file and reformatted to be transformed in a shapefile. Related publication (with more data presented): Thompson, D., S. E. W. Moss, and P. Lovell. "Foraging Behaviour of South American Fur Seals Arctocephalus Australis: Extracting Fine Scale Foraging Behaviour from Satellite Tracks." Marine Ecology Progress Series 260 (2003): 285-96. doi:10.3354/meps260285. The attribute table stores the ID of each individual, the date and the time, which were reformatted to be used in GIS, and LC (confidence levels) values that give the accuracy classification of the raw location according to the ARGOS scale. |
