deer | R Documentation |
GPS telemetry data for two male deer during a one-week period in March 2005. The two deer form a male bachelor group, making them an interesting case study for studying dynamic interaction patterns. The data are a subset of the data used as a case study in Long et al. (2014).
An ltraj
object with two bursts, representing the two different individual deer:
Deer no. 37 containing 551 fixes.
Deer no. 38 containing 567 fixes.
The deer data are stored as a single 'ltraj'
object; two bursts contain the fixes for two
individuals (deer37 and deer 38). GPS fixes were attempted at a regular sampling frequency of 15 minutes.
