SNMA - Stream Network Movement Analyses

Calculating home ranges and movements of animals in complex stream environments is often challenging, and standard home range estimators do not apply. This package provides a series of tools for assessing movements in a stream network, such as calculating the total length of stream used, distances between points, and movement patterns over time. See Vignette for additional details. This package was originally released on 'GitHub' under the name 'SNM'. SNMA was developed for analyses in McKnight et al. (2025) <doi:10.3354/esr01442> which contains additional examples and information.

CTE - Constant Temperature Equivalent

Under natural conditions, nest temperatures fluctuate daily around a mean value, whereas in captivity they are often held constant. The Constant Temperature Equivalent is designed to bridge the gap between the two by calculating a single temperature value for wild nests that corresponds with the amount of development that would occur in an incubator set to the same temperature. The theory and formulas behind this method were developed by Professor Author Georges and are implemented here as a single function.

MRgrowth - Mark-Recapture Growth Models

Researchers often need to calculate body-size growth rates for individuals that do not have associated age data. These growth rates are based on mark-recapture data where an individual was captured and measured at time 1 then recaptured and measured at time 2. The sizes at each time and amount of time between captures can be used to calculate growth rates. 'MRgrowth' follows the approach in Edmonds et al. (2021) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0259978> and provides functions to calculate growth using three formulas, the Faben's reformulation of the von Bertalanffy formula, the Gompertz formula, and a logistic formula.
