Hi all,<br>
<br>
A general query to those "in the know."<br>
For the last 24 hours I have been searching <i><b>R</b></i>
packages to look at radio tracking data.<br>
Initially I assumed that creating the X-Y point data and subsequent
mapping and various home range estimators would be straight forward.<br>
<br>
It has been > 20 years since I looked at any radio tracking type
papers.<br>
<br>
I need apparently first to be able to have the critter X-Y points
derived from triangulation and crossing from multiple observer
points.<br>
One of which will be a fixed wing aircraft.<br>
The critters are bats so all this data will be collected in the dark
and at fairly rapid speeds.<br>
<font id="role_document" color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">We
will also have ground based receivers and will coordinate times,
angle and crossing/intercepts of signals.</font><br>
<font id="role_document" color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">The
bats can be traveling 40 km/hr at night so very different than
locating a stationary target during the day.</font><br>
<br>
Will tlocoh or other packages be useful?<br>
