Description
These relational tables represent data related to least auklet survival studies on St. George Island, Alaska, from 2003-2024. These data were collected using the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge Least Auklet survival protocol. Survival studies were not completed in 2020, therefore there is no data from 2020.
Resight data were compiled from historic spreadsheets (2003-2023) into a single database, representing event data, capture/banding data, resight data, individual birds (organisms), and the histories of bands worn by those individual birds. Historic banding/capture data (prior to 2024) are not present in this dataset currently but are planned to be incorporated at a future date. Capture and resight data for 2024 were recorded using a Survey123 application to streamline data entry and management for this survey.
