In eogmartins/biotelemetry: Functions to Process and Explore Biotelemetry Data

biotelemetry

Development of R functions for basic processing and visualization of data collected with biotelemetry techniques (e.g. radio, acoustic). The functions automate common labour intensive tasks frequently encountered by biotelemetry researchers such as:

• Cleaning raw data files downloaded from receivers/data loggers (see function: clean_data.R)
• Combining multiple data files into a single data frame (see upcoming function: combine_data.R)
• Filtering out invalid tag codes, low power detections, duplicate detections etc (see upcoming function: filter_data.R)
• Identifying false-positive detections based on minimum number of detections and interval between detections (see upcoming function: identify_fp.R)
• Identifying residence events and computing residence time at specific locations/zones (see upcoming function: residence.R)
• Computing distances moved between detections within a bounded area such as within a river or a valley (requires a shapefile of the area) (see upcoming function: compute_dist.R)
• Plotting time series of detections across locations/zones to visualize movements and check for validity of spatio-temporal pattern of detections (see upcoming functions: plot_ind.R and plot_group.R)
