CeutaOPEN individual-based field observations of breeding snowy plovers Charadrius nivosus

摘要

Schematic of the CeutaOPEN database. During fieldwork, data collection was divided across five main tasks: ( ) nest monitoring, ( ) captures of adults and chicks, ( ) brood monitoring, ( ) resightings of individually colour ringed adults, and ( ) determining the identity of all breeding pairs and their offspring. The data obtained during each of these activities are structured in our database as the five tables shown here that contain a common variable such as a nest “ID” or a bird “code”, that can be utilized by the user for relational queries.
