AWIN
Definition
- An automatic weigh and identification nest-system (AWIN) has been developed to study two closely related petrel species in Antarctica. It has been used for a study on the breeding and foraging ecology of the Antarctic petrel (Thalassoica antarctica) and the Southern fulmar (Fulmarus glacialoides) on Ardery Island, Antarctica (66S, 110E). In three consecutive seasons (1996-1999), 30 to 45 artificial nests (Figure 1) have been operational each year in two study colonies on the island. The nests in these colonies were connected with the datalogger-computer in the field camp with cables up to 800 m away.
