Comparing inferences of solar geolocation data against high-precision GPS data: annual movements of a double-tagged black-tailed godwit (2016, background): “The majority of the existing efforts to assess the precision of geolocators placed on birds have come from studies of penguins and albatrosses (Phillips et al. 2004, Shaffer et al. 2005), which found that the average bias of calculated locations was 186 114 km.”
Movements, at-sea distribution and behaviour of a tropical pelagic seabird: the wedge-tailed shearwater in the western Indian Ocean (2009, unknown): “Previous studies using geolocators indicate mean accuracies of 186 ± 114 km (Phillips et al. 2004) and of 202 ± 171 km (Shaffer et al. 2005), which seems adequate for studying largescale movements of pelagic seabirds.”
Quantifying habitat use and preferences of pelagic seabirds using individual movement data: a review (2009, background): “Although lightbased geolocation cannot provide useable latitude estimates around the equinoxes, some loggers also record temperature, which in combination with remotely sensed SST data can improve accuracy (Teo et al. 2004, Shaffer et al. 2005).”
Trans-equatorial migration and habitat use by sooty shearwaters Puffinus griseus from the South Atlantic during the nonbreeding season (2012, background): “Mean positional error ± SD of similar devices deployed on free-ranging albatrosses was 186 ± 114 km (Phillips et al. 2004) and 202 ± 171 km (Shaffer et al. 2005).”
New Insights into Pelagic Migrations: Implications for Ecology and Conservation (2012, background): “These locations often contain error but can be refined by correcting with sea surface temperature data (Shaffer et al. 2005).”
Perspectives in Ornithology: Application of tracking and data-logging technology in research and conservation of seabirds (2009, unknown): “Adding temperature sensors to the GLS tag can improve location accuracy by using latitudinally stratified sea-surface temperatures to refine location estimates (1–2° error reduction; Teo et al. 2004, Shaffer et al. 2005).”
