Summary

This metadata document describes the data contained in the "Argos GPS Raw Data" (Child Item 2) of this data release. This data release contains all data collected by the Argos System from 6 satellite transmitters attached to Glaucous-winged gulls on Middleton Island and 42 Argos-linked GPS satellite transmitters attached to three species of large-bodied gulls (genus Larus) and hybrids thereof, captured at landfills in southcentral, western and northern Alaska. The transmitters carried GPS receivers, so GPS tracking data represent the backbone of this data release. However, because the GPS locations were communicated through the Argos System, a time series of Argos (Doppler) tracking data also exists and is included. Five data files [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to investigate the potential for landfill-foraging gulls to acquire and disperse antimicrobial resistant bacteria over long-distances and to better understand the timing and patterns of migratory movement of large-bodied gulls between breeding areas in coastal Alaska and wintering areas along the north Pacific coast of Asia and North America.
