Description of dataset The study is based on location data obtained 2017-2020 from 76 Greylag geese (Anser anser) with GPS-equipped neckbands, made by either Ornitela (OT-N35 and OT-N44) or Made-by-Theo (Theo Gerrits), focusing on breeding and molting adults and their unfledged goslings. 2. File List: Name: Data_Nilsson_et_al.csv Description: Patient ID numbers for screening and site investigation cohorts METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION The study is based on location data obtained 2017-2020 from 76 Greylag geese with GPS-equipped neckbands, made by either Ornitela (OT-N35 and OT-N44) or Made-by-Theo (Theo Gerrits), focusing on breeding and molting adults and their unfledged goslings. Handling protocols were approved by the animal ethics committee for central Sweden and fulfilled the ethical requirements for research on wild animals (decision Dnr 5.8.18-03584/2017). The GPS location dataset was handled and analysed according to the framework of net squared displacement modelling. For detailed methods, see the focal paper or Bunnefeld et al. 2011.
