Descripción
Between 1883 and 1939, Denmark's 45 lighthouses and lightships served a critical role during nocturnal bird migration. Throughout this period, lighthouse keepers and other observers documented 1,212 observations of bird activity at these maritime structures. These records captured a variety of bird species utilizing the lighthouses as navigational aids during their migrations. The keepers meticulously recorded the presence and behavior of these birds and collected specimens, which were subsequently sent to the museum in Copenhagen for preservation and cataloguing. This project provides valuable historical insights into bird migration patterns and their interactions with maritime navigation aids. By combining the 1,212 documented observations with preserved specimens and weather data, the project offers a unique perspective on how early 20th-century human infrastructure influenced bird migration. The results enhance our understanding of historical biodiversity and contribute to contemporary studies on bird migration and environmental impacts.

Datos del proyecto
Between 1883 and 1939, Denmark's 45 lighthouses and lightships served a critical role during nocturnal bird migration.

These records captured a variety of bird species utilizing the lighthouses as navigational aids during their migrations. The keepers meticulously recorded the presence and behavior of these birds and collected specimens, which were subsequently sent to the museum in Copenhagen for preservation and cataloguing.

Métodos de muestreo
Bird sightings and the collection of deceased birds were systematically conducted by the lighthouse keepers. These specimens, collected during the migration periods, were subsequently sent to the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen for further analysis and preservation. Wind speed was recorded using the Beaufort scale, a system for measuring wind intensity (more information can be found at [DMI Beaufort Scale](http://www.dmi.dk/laer-om/temaer/vejr/vejrgudernes-hvirvlende-dans/beaufort-skalaen/) and [Wikipedia Beaufort Scale](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale)). The dataset includes detailed descriptions of wind conditions, which can be reviewed at [DanBIF Wind Descriptions](http://danbif.dk/links/litteratur/Fyrfaldne-fugle_Vind_Forkortelser.pdf). This comprehensive documentation of bird observations and environmental conditions provides valuable insights into how wind patterns may have influenced bird migration and behavior.

| Control de Calidad | All listed species and their distribution in the database using the Catalogue of Life taxonomy names were aligned and standardized (https://www.catalogueoflife.org) and the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) database (https://www.itis.gov/). We plotted and mapped all species occurrence within the Species Link to curate species occurrence within the range. Biodiversity records outside the range or within unusual locations were counter-checked with the original reference and corrected. |
Descripción de la metodología paso a paso:
- Documentation of invasive species from the field.
- Reviewing of the initial identification of the species.
- Validation of the species and occurrence records.
- Organizing the species occurrence records and associated metadata following Darwin Core Standards in Microsoft Office Excel format (.csv)
- Curating species occurrence in Quantum GIS.
