[tlocoh-info] Overlapping Home Ranges

[Andy Lyons]

Hi Julia,

Good question. The R script below illustrates how to find the area of 
overlap between isopleths for two individuals. This is relatively easy 
because T-LoCoH saves isopleths (and hulls) as SpatialPolygonDataFrames, 
which is a pretty common format for spatial objects in R so there are a 
lot of packages and functions that can manipulate polygons in this format.

Check that out and let me know if you have any other questions.

Andy
