cavityuse is an R package for detecting use of cavities (caves, burrows, etc.) from geolocator data in a variety of animal species.

Details

There are two main aspects of this package:

  1. Detect patterns of cavity use in your data

    • sun_detect() Detect sunrise/sunset events in your data

    • cavity_detect() Detect patterns of cavity use in your data (sunrise/sunset times from sun_detect() are used to detect cavity use at night).

    • cavity_split() Split bouts of cavity use according the time frame you're interested in (i.e., midnight, noon, sunrise/sunset)

  2. Plot patterns of cavity use

We also include several practice data sets:
