N2 - <p>Data and scripts underlying the publication: Unveiling the roles of temporal periodicity, the spatial environment and behavioural modes in terrestrial animal movement.</p><p><br></p><p>The RData file Linssen_2024_JMovEcol_data contains everything needed to be able to run the code for the analysis:</p><p>- Data tables with location data (timestamp, x, y...), one for each species. These data have been pre-processed, cleaned and annotated with environmental covariates as described in the manuscript.</p><p>- A custom function collectmuHMMoutput(), which is used to collect all the relevant components of a HMM fit (the model itself, starting parameters, Viterbi decoding et cetera) into one list object.</p><p>- A custom function mutatePar0(), which takes starting parameters for a model and creates four sets of perturbations of those starting values (as described in the manuscript under Model fitting).</p><p><br></p><p>The R file Linssen_2024_JMovEcol_script contains the code needed to run the analysis. The code can be ran from top to bottom to run the analysis for eland; for wildebeest and zebra the "species" parameter in line 13 should be set to either of these.</p>
