| Lineage | 26 Geolocators (1g; C65 Migrate Technology Ltd, Cambridge,UK; hereafter GLS loggers) were deployed between November 2016 and June 2018 on masked boobies (Sula dactylatra) at Lots Wife mainland St Helena. GLS loggers record light levels every five minutes and wet/dry conditions every six seconds > five minutes. This information can be used to estimate their geographical location durng their non-breeding season and how often they are in or on the surface of the sea. 24 were retireived between September 2017 and December 2020. Metadata on deployments and retirevals are detailed in and excel sheet matrix. Data was subsequently downloaded, cleaned and processed. The raw data is held with EMD. |
