Dear all, I have just uploaded a package to CRAN a new package called 'adehabitat'. This package is intended for ecologists who want to analyse the use of space by animals. Many functions currently used in this field are available to highlight habitat selection by animals (selection ratios, ENFA, habitat suitability maps with the algorithm DOMAIN or Resource Selection Functions) or to describe the movements and area used in radio-tracking studies (kernel or minimum convex polygon home range, computation of travel speed and turning angles). ASCII raster maps exported from Arcview can also be imported, and basic GIS operations are available (e.g. spatial join, computation of buffers). The package comes with a pdf documentation file which contains an overview of the main classes of maps available in the package. Questions, comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Here is the description file of the package: Package: adehabitat Version: 1.1 Date: 2004/09/15 Title: Analysis of habitat selection by animals Author: Cl??ment Calenge, contributions from Mathieu Basille Maintainer: Cl??ment Calenge <calenge at biomserv.univ-lyon1.fr> Depends: R (>= 1.8.0), ade4 Description: A collection of tools for the analysis of habitat selection by animals License: GPL version 2 or newer Happy testing Cl??ment Calenge =====================================UMR CNRS 5558 - Equipe "Ecologie Statistique" Laboratoire de Biom??trie et Biologie Evolutive Universit??
