Title:
NPRB Projects B67 and B77 BSIERP Seabird Diving, Stress & Stable Isotopes, Pribilof and Bogoslof Islands, PI - A. Kitaysky
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: tabular digital data
Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains information on stable isotope signatures (for estimates of seabird diets) and levels of corticosterone in seabird plasma (as a measure of nutritional stress). Additional information includes morphological measurements taken for birds sampled in this study are concurrently submitted by Vernon Byrd; inforamtion for individual birds presented here (and reported by Vernon Byrd) can be linked using USFWS band number (unique for each individual)
NOTE: for use of this dataset contact PI for detailed information
Purpose:
This data set has been developed to test the following objectives:
Objective 1 Examine the effects of inter-annual climate variability on variations in nutritional stress of seabirds breeding in the ocean basin and continental shelf regions of the Bering Sea
Objective 2 Examine the relationships between foraging (diving behavior), stress status, and diet composition
Objective 3 Examine the relationships between foraging, stress, and diets to population processes
