Quality check of the original data Some authomatic checks within the data base (e.g., limit of some biometric values); some checks of data actually used for past analyses
Study site
Name Sagunto
ID SAG
Country Spain
Size (ha) 450
Major site changes Yes, change of irrigation system from flooding to localized dripping in 2002-03.
Latitude 39° 42' N
Latitude 0° 15' W
Number of nest boxes (min) 59
Number of nest boxes (max) 500
Vegetation Type Orange plantations
Description of study site An orange monoculture, with small groves (mean 1 ha) managed differently by their owners - the main heterogeneity is provided by the different ages of the trees between groves.
Species
Species Great tit
Start year 1986
End year NA
Continuous collection of data Yes
Gap years NA
Longest data collection 34
Parental ID's recorded Yes
List of basic breeding data collected Lay date, clutch size, number hatched, number fledged. Sometimes egg width, egg length.
Description of the protocols for breeding data collection Weekly checks of nestboxes, weekly checks of initiated nests, programmed visits (specific for each nest) to estimate start of incubation, hatching date (usually daily visits around expected day), number of hatchlings (visit 3-4 days after hatching date), visit at day 15 to ring and measure nestlings, visit at day 20 to confirm fledgling and check for dead nestlings; if still in the nests, visits every two days until fledging. Also, for a sample of nests each year, egg mesaurement (legth and width of each egg) after clutch completion. In most nests, since 1992, trap of parents by day 10-12.
Description of the protocols for taking individual level measurements Parents usually caught and measured at day 10-12; nestlings ringed and measured at day 15
Experimental manipulations Yes, though experiments expected to affect breeding or survival parameters conducted only in part of the study area
Description of experimental manipulations doi: 10.1111/ibi.12730, doi: 10.3161/00016454AO2016.51.2.009
Predation events recorded Yes
How are second clutches recorded? Basically, same protocol as first ones; when possible, identified by ringed adults; if not, by spatial proximity (same or close-by nestbox) AND phenology, with no potential confusion with other ones; if reasonable doubt, classified as "Unknown".
Catching data
Individual data Yes, since 1992
Type of individual data Age, immigration status, size (wing, weight, leg)
Feeding data Some years
Type of feeding data Nest visits (transponders), prey items (neck collars)
Other catching data Nest temperatures, nest size and composition, incubation behaviour (all in some years)
Roosting checks No
Winter ringing No
Colour rings Yes, some years
Tags Yes, some years, transporders on parents
Other No
Genetic data
Blood samples Yes, some years
Feather samples No
Other samples No
Samples analysed Yes
Environmental data
Food availability data Yes, some years
Temperature data Yes, extracted from Spanish Meteorological Agency - there is a meteorological station 4 km away from the study area
Rainfall data Yes, extracted from Spanish Meteorological Agency - there is a meteorological station 4 km away from the study area
Other environmental data NA
