I’ve been spending a lot of time over the last several months thinking about animal home ranges, utilization distributions, and movement ecology. All this thinking has gone into a shiny application for the exploratory analysis and visualization of animal movement data. Estimating the home ranges is fairly straight forward. The stumbling block is working with the classes in adehabitatHR, adehabitatLT, and sp R packages and mapping those ranges on an interactive leaflet map.

Over the last few months I’ve been writing tons of R functions. They all go to GitHub, but they aren’t easily used in R. Each time I want to use one I have to use source('url.to.repo'). I finally decided it was time to write an R package to more easily access these functions, and make them more user friendly for my colleagues.

Over the last several months I’ve been building a Shiny app for exploratory analysis and visualization of animal movement data. I want the app to be fully interactive so I decided to use leaflet over other mapping packages. Creating this application is also a good opportunity to write some wrapper functions to make analysis in an interactive session easier for the people that I work with.

I’ve been looking for a way to contribute to the R community and a Jekyll blog seems like a good way to accomplish this goal.
