Description

Example data from movebank stored in an object of class MoveStack, representing three tracked vulture individuals.

Usage

1

Format

An object of class MoveStack

Details

The vultures data comes from a study about search efficiency of vultures foraging on spatio-temporally unpredictable carcasses in the Etosha National Park in Namibia.

The MoveStack object vulture_moveStack represents a subset of the original data set downloaded from movebank and contains trajectory data of three vulture individuals, named X1 (Gyps africanus), X2 (Torgos tracheliotus) and X3 (Gyps africanus).

The permission to use the data was obtained from the owners of the data (Contact person: Orr Spiegel).

For further details please see the vignette.
