Analysis of Egyptian Geese movements from a translocation experiment

This repository contains the code and data to reproduce the results of an analysis of Egyptian Geese movements using a translocation experiment, as carried out in Cumming et al (2022) - see citation below.

Instructions

Once you have downloaded/cloned the repository you will have to unzip the data input folder and keep it in the R project root directory. The code contained in the src folder is broken up into various steps which corresponds to the net-squared displacement analysis, the multivariate linear regression modelling, and visualisations of movement paths and data gaps.
