Rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) radio telemetry in Lierne, Norway

Citation

Nilsen E B, Pedersen H C, Brøseth H, Moa P F, Vang R (2019). Rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) radio telemetry in Lierne, Norway. Version 1.2. Norwegian Institute for Nature Research. Occurrence dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/o4zcd3 accessed via GBIF.org on 2022-07-01.

Description

This data set is based on a small radio telemetry project on rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in Lierne municipality, central Norway. In total, 85 rock ptarmigans were captured and radio-collared. After release, the birds were re-located with variable geographical precision (noted in the data). When mortality were detected, cause of death was as far as possible recorded. In the published data, cause of death is attributed to one of two causes (hunting OR other causes), and this information is available in the field "dynamicProperties" together with information about the event (capture OR radiotelemetry/recature). In some cases more detailed information about the event and state is available in the raw data.

Taxonomic Coverages

  1. Lagopus muta
    common name: Rock ptarmigan rank: species

Geographic Coverages

Study area mainly in central Norway (Lierne and Snåsa municipalities). Some re-locations of radio-collared ptarmigans in Sweden are included in the data set.
