Hello Sergio,

the problem you are encountering is actually a feature of LSCV. When
points are scattered in some particular patterns, the calculation is
impossible, therefore there is no output. This is by no means a
suggestion to move/eliminate locations to make the method work!

This failure is rather a suggestion to explore other methods and
consider the ecological reasons of the distribution of points, as you
already did by identifying foraging areas. I have no experience in
analysing bird data, but can suggest NNCH method, that is a variant of
MCP. See adehabitat manual for more details and some literature on it.

Let us know if this helps.

Kind regards and happy new year :)

Anne
