Listed in GBIF
Description
HG_TEXEL - Herring gulls (Larus argentatus, Laridae) breeding in Texel (the Netherlands) is a bird tracking dataset published by the University of Amsterdam and the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO) . It contains animal tracking data for the study HG_TEXEL using trackers developed by the University of Amsterdam Bird Tracking System (UvA-BiTS, uva-bits.nl ). The study was operational from 2013 until 2022.
In total 31 individuals of European herring gull ( Larus argentatus ) have been tagged in their breeding area in the Kelderhuispolder on Texel, a Wadden Island in the Netherlands. The main goal of the study is to identify their primary foraging areas and resources during the breeding season and the consequences of habitat change on these birds. Data are uploaded from the UvA-BiTS database to Movebank and from there archived on Zenodo (see github.com/inbo/bird-tracking ).

No new data are expected. These data were collected by the University of Amsterdam (UvA) in collaboration with the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ). Management of UvA-BiTS field stations and tracker settings was supported by Willem Bouten and Edwin Baaij.
Permission to work in the colony was granted by Staatsbosbeheer Texel. The research infrastructure was supported by LifeWatch, SURF Foundation and the Dutch national e-science centre (NLeSC) and carried out on the Dutch national e-infrastructure with the support of SURF Cooperative. The dataset was published with funding from Stichting NLBIF - Netherlands Biodiversity Information Facility.
Data have been standardized to Darwin Core using the movepub R package and are subsampled to the first GPS position per hour. The original data are available in Shamoun-Baranes et al. (2026, doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22297895 ), a deposit of Movebank study 8872869475 .
