What is GPSeqClus: An R package for sequential clustering of animal location data for model building, model application and field site investigations about?
## Abstract Evaluating the concentration of animal locations, in space and time, provides insight regarding animal activity and behaviour. Most commonly collected via global positioning system technology, these concentrations are identified using rule sets resulting in location ‘clusters’. Cluster algorithms provide a framework for modelling and predicting behavioural states when paired with field data to evaluate habitat characteristics and validate results. We provide a sequential clustering algorithm package (GPSeqClus) to process location datasets based on user‐defined parameters. GPSeqClus also calculates an array of movement attributes commonly applied as covariates to develop cluster‐based models. Our package maps locations and clusters, with additional functions to assess specific clusters for site investigations and to export GPS Exchange format (.gpx) files for navigation. We highlight the ability of GPSeqClus to modify existing cluster attributes or to append additional attributes, and the flexibility to accommodate archived or near real‐time (satellite‐driven) datasets. Although spatio‐temporal clustering is widely used in animal ecology, clustering routines are commonl
