Streaked Shearwater Calonectris leucomelas is a pelagic seabird, which mainly breeds on offshore islands around Japan. Recent studies have revealed their breeding ecology and foraging behavior. The aim of this workshop is to identify and to synthesize new information of Streaked Shearwater study. The workshop is scheduled to give presentations including the data of each breeding site and further monitoring program.

  Workshop 3 “An introduction of gyroscope data logger” (Lecture room 2)
Takuji Noda, Takuya Koizumi, Hiromichi Mitamura (Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University), Nobuaki Arai (FSERC, Kyoto University)
13:00~15:00  Takuji Noda(Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University)
We have been developing a new type of data logger with gyroscope (gyro logger) to measure fine-scale movement of animals. Based on the experience and skills gained through the development of the gyro logger, we will keep developing and start selling new data loggers such as 9-axis small motion data logger and depth/temperature/illumination archival tags. In this workshop, the upcoming data loggers will be displayed and explained, and we hope to discuss the function/design of the data logger and the usage with potential users.
