Hi. I am running the as.ltraj () function in adehabitat (v 1.4 under R 2.2.1)
but can't seem to correctly specify the burst argument. i.e., the ltraj
object returned consists of only one component, when in fact my data consist
of more than one burst of reloctions per animal. i've set up the data (xy,
date, id, burst) in list form following the example given in ?as.ltraj. to
simplify, following is a section of the data for the 65th animal in my list
dataset:
x y loctime burst

479403 5515784 2005-07-11 14:08:25 bird501
and the code i input for this animal is:
(mytr1 <- as.ltraj(myxy[[65]][1:2], date = myxy[[65]][3], id="animal65",
burst=myxy[[65]][4]))
i'm returned a list of class traj with only one component which identifies
the animal, concatenates all unique burst character strings, and gives the
total number of relocations.
the burst data in my dataset are of the form is.character. Does anyone know
what I'm doing incorrectly to be returned a list of only one component per
animal (where number of relocations is total number of relocations per
animal)? instead of the desired list with x components per animal (x =
number bursts) with associated number of relocations per burst?
Thanks in advance.
