Rarely considered are changes bio-logging devices induce on an animal\u2019s center of mass (COM) and resulting losses of flight control and stability. In a related paper (Katzner and Young 2024), we applied established aeronautical principles to estimate how the COM of a flying bird or bat may be affected by typical positioning of a bio-logging device on the neck, back, hips, or tail. We then adopted modified thresholds from aerospace engineering to estimate limits beyond which changes to COM result in fitness-relevant alterations to flight control and stability. Here we provide measurements for other species, beyond the seven reported in Katzner and Young (2024).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P13SIMMI", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.663baa87d34e77890839bf1a.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_663baa87d34e77890839bf1a", "keyword": ["USGS:663baa87d34e77890839bf1a", "avian", "avian flight", "bio-logger", "bio-logging", "biota", "birds", "environment", "flight control", "mass", "plant and animal tagging", "raptors", "telemetry", "transmitter", "weight"], "modified": "2024-07-30T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-126.2109, 25.0060, -62.9297, 50.2893", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Expanded dataset of measurements to be used in evaluating consequences for flight control and stability induced by attachment of bio-logging devices to birds and bats"}
