nomads

nomads provides processed satellite telemetry locations for male pectoral sandpipers, Calidris melanotos, tracked during two Arctic breeding seasons.

The data come from Kempenaers and Valcu (2017), who used Argos satellite telemetry to study large-scale breeding site sampling of male pectoral sandpipers across the Arctic.
