More about LRC Services

1 

We work with GPS telemetry, satellite tracking, and other movement or behavioral datasets to answer specific management and research questions. We can help with some of the latest modeling efforts including:

• Home range and space use estimation (KDE, aKDE, adeHabitat)

• Behavioral state classification from tracking data (hidden Markov models)

• Habitat selection and resource use analysis (hierarchical models, iSSA)

• Stable isotope mixing models for diet and habitat connectivity questions (MixSIAR, SIBER)

• General liner and mixed effects modeling (GAM, GLMMs, binomial, and multinomial logistic regression) 

• Migration phase detection and stopover/wintering site delineation

• Spatial clustering and site-use pattern analysis (recursion analysis, DBSCAN)

Good analysis only has value if it’s communicated clearly. We write in plain, direct language and aim for results that are usable by the people who need to act on them, whether that’s a peer reviewer or a field manager. LRC provides:

• Technical reports for agencies, funders, and land managers

• Peer-reviewed manuscript preparation and co-authorship

• Editing and critique of existing drafts, from framing through statistical reporting

• Lay summaries and plain-language translations of technical findings for non-specialist audiences

• Figures and visualizations built for publication or presentation.

Whether you’re scoping a new monitoring program or trying to get more out of an existing dataset, LRC can help with:

• Study design and sampling strategy for movement and demographic studies

• Telemetry program design (tag selection, deployment strategy, data management planning)

• Grant and proposal development support

• Bridging the gap between academic research methods and field-level implementation

Agencies and organizations often have staff or students who could take on more analysis in-house with the right training. Training can be delivered as one-to-one, standalone workshop or built into a larger analysis or project design engagement, so your team retains the capacity to continue the work after LRC is gone.

LRC offers:

• Hands-on workshops in R for ecological data analysis

• Training in bird capture and handling, telemetry data processing, and movement analysis workflows

• Guided instruction in project analyses.

• Custom training tailored to fit project needs.
