For my masters research, I needed a fully delineated stream network map of the Great Miami River Watershed that included all first order streams. Because of this… Read more “Delineating a Stream Network”
Minimum Convex Polygon for Home Range Estimate
One of the most surprising things for me is the search terms that lead people to my website. MCP is actually the top search term. So while… Read more “Minimum Convex Polygon for Home Range Estimate”
Mosaic, or merge, rasters in R
To do a mosaic of rasters in GIS software, whether Arc or QGIS, is simple enough command-wise. However, I was running into issues about a month ago… Read more “Mosaic, or merge, rasters in R”
MCP, KDE, and LoCoH
Three of the most popular methods of home range estimation right now are the minimum convex polygon (MCP), kernel density estimation (KDE), and local convex hull (LoCoH).… Read more “MCP, KDE, and LoCoH”
Local convex hull or LoCoH in R
The local convex hull method of home range estimation is a relatively recent technique. It was developed in 2004 by Getz and Wilmers. You can read the… Read more “Local convex hull or LoCoH in R”
Transforming Coordinates from Lat Long to UTM
If you’re new to the world of movement and spatial ecology, its likely that you have all of your coordinates in latitude and longitude (lat long for… Read more “Transforming Coordinates from Lat Long to UTM”
Using R to Calculate KDE Home Ranges
Update: The code for using the adehabitatHR package is given below. Beneath the code will follow my original blog post for informative purposes. Please note, if you… Read more “Using R to Calculate KDE Home Ranges”
