Description:
Abstract:
This dataset is one table with time-linked behavior data derived from video camera collars on polar bears on land near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada. Eighteen polar bears were equipped with video-camera collars (Vertex Plus collar with camera option, Vectronic Aerospace GmbH, Berlin, Germany) for 19 - 23 days in 2019, 2021, and 2022.
Purpose:
These data were collected to gain insights into the field metabolic rate, diet, behavior, movement, and body composition of polar bears on land.
Supplemental_Information:
Over three years, we captured 20 polar bears (adult and subadult) near Churchill Manitoba, during the months of August and September (2019 n=2; 2021 n=9; 2022 n=9). Bears were fitted with collars which recorded video, GPS location, and tri-axial acceleration. Additionally, we measured field metabolic rate and changes in body composition. Each bear was captured two times approximately 21 days apart. For technical and logistic reasons, not all data were collected for each bear. This data package is in four tables. Each table has a bear id column connecting data from the four datasets.

Methodology_Description:
In 2019, video collars were set to record video for 10 sec every 5 minutes 24 hours a day. In 2021, video collars were set to record video for 5 sec every 2 minutes from 10:00–23:00 GMT. In 2022, due to a programming error, video collars were set to record video for 5 sec every 2 minutes from 00:11–13:11 GMT until September 13. After September 13 2022, video collars were set to record for 5 sec every 2 minutes from 11:11–00:11 GMT.
