As seabirds emperor penguins spent a large proportion of their lives at sea. For food they depend entirely on marine resources. Young penguins rarely return to their natal colonies after their first year. Satellite tracking will give us insights into where foraging areas may be that are important for these birds. This tracking work is part of a multi-species study funded by the Integrated Marine Observation System (IMOS). These data are from penguins from the Amanda Bay area, and for the 2011-2012 season.

The dataset contains geographic location estimates of Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) tracked via Argos satellite telemetry in the Southern Ocean for the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources project from 1996-10-29 to 2013-02-19. Birds were instrumented with back-mounted Argos satellite transmitters at the Copacabana Colony (62.21S, 58.42W) on King George Island during the austral summer breeding seasons (October - February) from 1996 to 2013. Typical deployments during the breeding season lasted 5 to 8 days, while some winter deployments lasted several months. The data set identifies the sex of the bird tracked (male, female, or unknown) and the age of the bird (adult). The data also identify the breeding stage of the bird during the summer tracking period (incubation, brood/guard, or creche) or is noted as 'winter' if tracked outside the summer breeding season. The data include the date (DD/MM/YYYY) and time (GMT) of the location estimate. Finally, a categorical estimate of uncertainty in the location estimate is provided by Argos quality codes (3,2,1,0,A,B).

This data set contains a zipped file with 8 individual .csv files used to support the analysis of survival bottlenecks presented by Hinke et al.(2020), "Acute bottlenecks to the survival of juvenile Pygoscelis penguins occur immediately after fledging". Data include geographical position estimates from satellite telemetry studies on Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae), chinstrap (P. antarctica), and gentoo (P. papua) penguins tracked from the Antarctic peninsula region, carcass counts from ship and beach surveys in the study region, fledgling weights, and battery voltage data from telemetry tags. Multiple datasets are provided. Telemetry data is raw ARGOS data collected from Sirtrak Kiwisat K2G-72A transmitters on Adelie, gentoo, and chinstrap fledlging penguins. Summarized data on cumulative losses of tags from adult birds dervie from Wildlife Computers Spot-275 transmitters. Historical raw data collected by field researchers include fledgling weights and counts of penguin carcass observed at sea and on beaches. Fledgling weights are were collected with spring scales immediatley prior to first departure of fledgling penguins from their natal colony (Adelie and chinstrap) or at a standard age of 85-days after hatch (gentoo). At-sea carcass observations were collected during standard seabird surveys while underway during daylight hours. Beach-cast carcasses of fledgling chinstraps were counted one week after the fledging period at Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island. Recruitment data are based from mark-recapture data and represent proportional returns of individuals from marked cohorts, as updated from a prior report (doi: 10.1007/s00442-007-0781-4)

Data were collected from several penguin monitoring sites in the Antarctic peninsula region, the South Orkney Islands, and East Antarctica between 1977 and 2017 using traditional and autonomous methods.Traditional methods consisted of researchers conducting direct observations of penguins throughout the season to record information on egg laying, incubation, and brood/guard periods. Simultaneously, autonomous methods consisted of time-lapse cameras deployed at the penguin colonies to photographically record the same daily nesting activities throughout the season. Seabirds observed in this study are Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae), chinstrap (P. antarctica), and gentoo (P. papua) penguins.

This dataset consists of points representing the daytime distribution of Little Penguins in Warnbro Sound and Comet Bay as observed during radio tracking (from air and land) surveys conducted within the metro area on the following dates: November 1996 (air and land), April 1997 (air and land), June 1997 (land), August 1997 (land), and November 1997 (land).

Data were collected from two penguin monitoring sites in the Antarctic peninsula region between 1977 and 2015 using traditional census methods. Seabirds observed in this study are Adélie (Pygoscelis adeliae), chinstrap (P. antarctica), and gentoo (P. papua) penguins. The two study sites are the US AMLR Program sites at Cape Shirreff (Livingston Island) and Copacabana (King George Island).

This data contains at-sea GPS tracks of little penguins (Eudyptula minor) tagged at three colonies around Storm Bay, Tasmania (Boronia Beach, Wedge Island and Bruny Island Neck) over the 2015/16 summer breeding season. This data was collected as part of an honours thesis submitted in 2016.
