Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Data in "Jirinec_etal_light_data.csv" and "Jirinec_etal_temperature_data.csv" were generated by loggers manufactured by Migrate Technology (UK). Please see associated publication for details. 2. Methods for processing the data: Data from individual loggers were collated in R software. 3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: NA 4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: NA 5. Environmental/experimental conditions: Various. Data collected over 3 years. 6. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: Some observations at logger deployment or recovery removed. This is relevant to bird loggers to measure normal behavior. Please see associated publication for details. 7. People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission: Please see associated publication for details. DATA-SPECIFIC INFORMATION FOR: Jirinec_etal_light_data.csv 1.
