CKGR Lion Research Appendix 7 Raw data and analysis script for lion home range analysis
For ANU Research Thesis entitled : The Ecology and Management of Kalahari Lions in a Conflict Area in Central Botswana
Step 1 Calculation of home range from GPS Raw
data
The raw data used in Chapter 4 can be downloaded in comma delimited .csv format here, and the R script which constructs the independent variables for further analysis can be downloaded here. Several R packages were used, are listed at the beginning of the script and may need downloading. All were available on the CRAN R servers at the time of writing. These packages may have been updated since use. The version of R used at the time of analyses was R 2.12
Step 2 Calculate density of herbivores, and group density of herbivores in each home range polygon (Appendix 6).
The results of this analysis formed the data files for the GLMM analysis and can be found in this data file. This contained home range sizes of three types aligned with herbivore density and group density estimates for each lion, for each month.The final data file is available here.
Step 3 GLMM analysis of Home Ranges
The home range analysis consited of the home range size from step 1 as the dependent variable and independent variaables calculated in step 2. The R 2.12 script can be found here.
