In the spring of 2018, we studied the foraging ecology of the Black-capped Petrel. The goal of this project was to gather fine-scale data on individual movements of Black-capped Petrels breeding in the Sierra de Bahoruco, Dominican Republic. Our objective was to use GPS tracking devices to identify the foraging behavior and the locations and environmental characteristics of foraging areas of breeding Black-capped Petrels in the Caribbean Sea. We provide results from the deployment of nine remote-download GPS loggers on breeding Black-capped Petrels from Sierra de Bahoruco during April 2018.
ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
