Simulated iSSF location data for demonstrating UHC plots
uhc_issf_locs
A data.frame
with 371 rows and 3 variables:
x-coordinate in UTM Zone 12 (EPSG: 32612)
Y-coordinate in UTM Zone 12 (EPSG: 32612)
timestamp of location (timezone "US/Mountain")
These data were simulated assuming an movement model, i.e., iSSA.
True movement-free habitat selection parameter values are:
forage
= log(8)/500 (resource)
temp^2
= -1 * log(8)/36 (condition; quadratic term)
temp
= (log(8)/36) * 26 (condition; linear term)
pred
= log(0.2)/5 (risk)
cover == "forest"
= log(2) (grassland is intercept)
cover == "wetland"
= log(1/2) (grassland is intercept)
dist_to_cent
= -1 * log(10)/500 (keeps trajectory away from boundary)
Note: temp
is modeled as a quadratic term, with the strongest selection
occurring at 13 °C and all other temperatures less selected.
Note: dist_to_water
and rand
have no real effect
on our animal's selection and are included for demonstration purposes.
True selection-free movement distributions are:
Step length: gamma(shape = 3, scale = 25)
Turn angle: vonMises(mu = 0, kappa = 0.5)
