In Nature40/tRackIT: Process data recorded with automatic radio-tracking stations

Init Animal Tracking

Description

Creates directories and a R list with all the needed tRackIT information for one animal. R list is stored as .rds in animals directory-projroot/data/individuals/animalID/animalID_idFile.rds

Usage

initAnimal(
  projList = NULL,
  projroot = ".",
  saveAnml = FALSE,
  animalID = NULL,
  species = NA,
  sex = NA,
  age = NA,
  weight = NA,
  rep.state = NA,
  freq = NA,
  start = NA,
  end = NA,
  duration_min = NA,
  duration_max = NA
)

Arguments

projList	list, generatet by initProject function
projroot	string, project directory
saveAnml	logical, if TRUE animal list will be stored as .rds an can be loaded with getAnml()
animalID	string, label of the tagged individual
species	string, species of the tagged individual
sex	string, sex of the tagged individual
age	string, age of the tagged individual
weight	string, weight of the tagged individual
rep.state	string, reproductive state of the tagged individual
freq	num, tag frequency (khz)
start	string, start of tracking YYYY-MM-DD
end	string, end of tracking YYYY-MM-DD
duration_min	numeric, minimum duration of single signal
duration_max	numeric, maximum duration of single signal
