Tracking Data for Long-billed Curlews (Numenius americanus)
February 17, 2024
This data release includes 2 child items with tracking data for Long-billed Curlews, a shorebird species that nests in deserts and grasslands of central and western North America and spends the nonbreeding season in agriculture fields and pastures or along coastlines in California, Texas, and Mexico.
Child Item 1: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Long-billed Curlews (Numenius americanus) - Processed Data" -- Quality-controlled data collected from Argos satellite transmitters.
Child Item 2: "Argos Satellite Tracking Data for Long-billed Curlews (Numenius americanus) - Raw Data" -- All raw data collected from Argos satellite transmitters, provided for completeness of the archive. The quality-controlled, "Argos Processed Data" (Child Item 1) are better suited for most analytical purposes.

Annual migratory patterns of long-billed curlews in the American west
Effective conservation of migratory species requires comprehensive knowledge of annual movement patterns. Such information is sparse for the Long-billed Curlew (Numenius americanus), a North American endemic shorebird of conservation concern. To test hypotheses about individual and area differences in migratory patterns across western North America, we tagged 29 curlews with satellite...
