Table 1 Summary of the Animal Tracking Toolbox (ATT)

setupData()

Sets up input data for smooth functioning of subsequent ATT functions. Produces an ‘ATT’ classed object consisting a list of detection data, receiver locations and tag information

detectionSummary()

Requires input object of class ‘ATT’. Produces a list containing standard detection metrics for:

(1) full tag period and

(2) user defined temporal subsets (i.e. monthly, weekly detection metrics)

dispersalSummary()

Requires input object of class ‘ATT’. Produces a list containing dispersal distances and bearings between:

(1) consecutive detections and

(2) between each detection and tag release site

COA()

Requires input object of class ‘ATT’. Produces a ‘COA’ classed object consisting of a data table with short-term centres of activity within user defined time steps

HRSummary()

Requires input object of class ‘COA’. Produces a list containing standardised activity space metrics (i.e. Minimum convex polygon area, 50% and 95% KUD and BB-KUD contour areas) for:

(1) full period of tag life, and

(2) user-defined subsets (i.e. monthly, weekly activity spaces)
