movedesign: Study design of movement ecology studies

Simoes Silva, I. M.; Fleming, C. H.; Noonan, M. J.; Fagan, W. F.; Calabrese, J.

A Shiny R application that aims to assist researchers in designing animal tracking projects related to two main research questions: the estimation of home range and of speed and distance traveled. The application makes use of simulations to assess the degree of estimate precision that may be achieved with a given sampling design; that is, the choices regarding data resolution (sampling interval) and battery life (sampling duration).

Keywords: ecology; conservation; software development; experimental design; biologgers; GPS sampling; GPS tracking; simulations; home range; space use
