DarwinPlus053: Northern Rockhopper penguin Eudyptes moseleyi PIT data from Nightingale Island, Tristan da Cunha

Abstract

Darwin Plus Project 053 Location - Nightingale Island, Tristan da Cunha http://www.darwininitiative.org.uk/documents/DPLUS053/24132/DPLUS053%20AR1%20-%20edited.pdf The dataset is under Embargo until data analysis has been completed and ready to be published as Open Data. Three hundred adult northern rockhopper penguins, Eudyptes moseleyi, and 100 chicks were implanted with PIT tags ( Passive Integrated Transponder) in the breeding season 2016/17, 130 adults in 2017/18 and 100 in 2018/19 on Nightingale Island (37°25'S, 12°28'W). To monitor annual survival we set up two automated PIT readers on each of the main pathways penguins use to commute between the sea and their colonies. There are two data sets comprising a) the list of PIT tags implanted and b) the reader crossings. This data also offer opportunities to examine age of first return to the colony by birds marked as chicks and seasonal variability in colony attendance. This study was set up as part of the Darwin Plus funded Project Pinnamin, 2016 – 2018, a joint multi-institutional and interdisciplinary collaboration between the RSPB, Tristan da Cunha government, British Antarctic Survey (BAS), Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) and the Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) in South Africa.
