Original provider: Daniel Costa Dataset credits: Data provider Costa Lab Mammals Originating data center Satellite Tracking and Analysis Tool (STAT) Abstract: Dan Costa's Lab at the University of California Santa Cruz is engaged in a long-term tracking study of northern elephant seals at Ano Nuevo State Reserve. With the help of many graduate students and collaborators, we are investigating a diversity of topics including: habitat-use, foraging ecology, fine-scale behavior, toxin loading, diving physiology, climate change, and ontogeny.We have a diverse team, but welcome additional collaborators. Please contact us if you have interesting ideas for analyses This dataset is a summarized representation of the telemetry locations aggregated per species per 1-degree cell.
