【 摘 要 】

A dataset representing the movement patterns of lesser black‐backed gulls (Larus fuscus) from a colonybased on the island of Texel (Netherlands) has been collected by the Universiteit van Amsterdam. The dataset has a duration of several weeks coincided with the gulls breeding period. In total four gulls weretracked by fitting them with GPS sensors which recorded a timestamp, latitude, longitude and altitude.This dataset was presented to the Dagstuhl seminar by Emiel van Loon, along with a series of researchchallenges including:• finding all recurrent patterns in our gull tracks;• to label these recurrent patterns in an ecologically meaningful way;• investigate the algorithms or metrics that are used for establishing to which recurrent pattern a fix belongs, and try to relate these to what we know from ecological theory and flight energetics.[First Paragraph]
