cpf_report_params: Report analysis parameters for central place foragers

In popovs/OPPtools: This package contains tools and templates to analyze seabird tracking data

Report analysis parameters for central place foragers

Description

This dataset includes parameters used in analysis to identify high-use areas for breeding colonial seabirds. Parameters in this dataframe are passed to OPPtools::opp_render_diagnostic and OPPtools::opp_render_report to run analysis to identify trips away from the colony, calculate individual utilization distributions, quantify overlap among individual distributions, and map high-use areas around the colony.

Usage

cpf_report_params

Format

A data frame:

mb_project_num

Numeric. Movebank project number.

report_title

Text. Title used in PDF report.

file_name

Text. File name used in all outputs.

spp

Text. Species common name.

breeding_pairs

Numeric. Number of breeding pairs at colony. Used in calculating number of birds expected to occur in high-use areas.

count_year

Numeric. Year when most recent colony count was conducted.

minDist

Numeric. Distance, in kilometers, a bird must travel from colony to be considered in away from colony. Passed to OPPtools::opp_get_trips in analysis.

maxDist

Numeric. Distance, in kilometers, a bird must return to colony to be considered in a complete trip. Passed to OPPtools::opp_get_trips in analysis.

gapTime

Numeric. Time, in hours, between consecutive locations to be considered a gap in tracking. Passed to OPPtools::opp_get_trips in analysis.

gapDist

Numeric. Distance, in kilometers, between consecutive locations to be considered a gap in tracking. Passed to OPPtools::opp_get_trips in analysis.

interpolateGaps

Logical. Should gaps in location data be interpolated? Passed to OPPtools::opp_get_trips in analysis.

timestep

gridRes

Numeric. Grid resultion, in kilometers, used in calculating utilizations disributions.

gridExtend

Numeric. Distance, in kilometers, used to extend grid used in calculating utilizations disributions.

kernelSmoother

Text. Type of kernel smoother used in analysis to calculate utilization distributions. Acceptable values are: href, href/2, and step

stage

Text. Describing the breeding stage data apply to. Used in text of report.

dates

Text. Describing the date range of the breeding stage for this population. Used in text of report.
