Project Data

The project SUMHAL aimed at implementing a strategy for biodiversity conservation in the western Mediterranean hotspot by setting a technologically efficient and scientifically robust system. The project combined fieldwork and virtual research environments for the recording, storing, analysis, and dissemination of the conservation status and threats of biodiversity in Andalusia (Southern Spain). The general aim of SUMHAL-WP4 focused on anthropogenic impacts of great global concern and relevant not only for Andalusian and Spanish ecosystems and societies, but for Europe as a whole. The main objective of WP4 was to provide knowledge on the ecological and socio-economic impacts of the three main drivers of human-induced global change (biological invasions, land-use changes and food subsidies), and to make this information accessible through virtual research environments. WP4 used both traditional and novel methodologies, as well as involved society to monitor ecological and socio-economic impacts at different spatial scales. The subproject SUMHAL-WP4-SEABIRDS (LWE2103009) aimed to explore the relationship of seabirds with human activities that usually provide food subsidies, such as fisheries and landfills. The study focused on the spatial analysis, trophic relationships and life-history of seabirds in the Alboran Sea and the Gulf of Cadiz, a region under intense human pressure.

Sampling Methods

GPS locations of Yellow-legged gulls tracked with GPS (GPS-GSM system, 1 fix every 2 hours). Data may contain ocassional gaps when tracking devices ran out of battery.

Study Extent South Western Iberian Peninsula, particularly Odiel marshes Natural Park (Huelva province, Spain), Cádiz Bay Natural Park (Cádiz province, Spain), Tarifa (Cádiz province, Spain), Gibraltar (UK).
Quality Control GPS locations with a calculated speed over a threshold defined as the quartile 99% of calculated speed for the whole dataset are removed.

Method step description:

  1. GPS locations with a calculated speed over a threshold defined as the quartile 99% of calculated speed for the whole dataset are removed.
