Description
This data set is based on a small radio telemetry project on rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in Lierne municipality, central Norway. In total, 85 rock ptarmigans were captured and radio-collared. After release, the birds were re-located with variable geographical precision (noted in the data). When mortality were detected, cause of death was as far as possible recorded. In the published data, cause of death is attributed to one of two causes (hunting OR other causes), and this information is available in the field "dynamicProperties" together with information about the event (capture OR radiotelemetry/recature). In some cases more detailed information about the event and state is available in the raw data.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 378 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Project Data
The purpose of the study was both to provide basic ecological knowledge about rock ptarmigan in Norway, and to assess the applicability and usefulness of a suite of field methods to study rock ptarmigan biology, demography and population dynamics. In addition to the radio-telemetry, pilot studies focusing on point-count studies and site-occupancy dynamics, as well as mark-recapture studies based on fecal DNA was preformed.

| Funding | The project was funded by a grant from the Norwegian Environment Agency (grant #12040045; Rock ptarmigan demography and population status). All handling of animals were in agreement with Norwegian laws, and approved by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (approval ID 3960). |
| Study Area Description | The main study area was in Lierne municipality, Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. All capture of rock ptarmigan for the radio-telemetry study was conducted around Lierne National Park. Point-count studies and mark-recapture studies based on fecal DNA was performed at Lifjellet, Lierne, Norway. |
