Dear AniMove list
I would like to calculate an area using 100%MCP based on at least 3
geolocalized points (eg traps); Unfortunately, there is an error
message in ?adehabitat? indicating that MCP cannot be calculated with
less than 5 coordinates (which is ? of course - obviously fine for the
vast majority of home range analyses).
However, my main aim is to investigate if core area sizes obtained
from radio-tracked small rodents (22 chipmunks) on a short time scale
(ie a month) could be predicted from the area formed by the polygon of
traps where individuals have been caught and released during the
tracking study. The underlying hypothesis is: does the trapping data
reflect ? or not ? the area most intensely used by these rodents.
Any help would be appreciated for a poor lonesome rodent-trapper that
is not used to get deeper into the cabalistic codes of R functions ;))
Amicalement
