Creates a summary of the first and last detection at a site, the length of time between first and last detection, the number of tags, and the total number of detections at a site. Plots total number of detections across all tags, and total number of tags detected at each site.

Usage

siteSum(data, units = "hours")

Arguments

data

a selected table from .motus data, eg. "alltagsGPS", or a data.frame of detection data including at a minimum variables for motusTagID, sig, recvDeployLat, recvDeployLon, recvDeployName, ts, gpsLat, and gpsLon

units

units to display time difference, defaults to "hours", options include "secs", "mins", "hours", "days", "weeks"

Value

a data.frame with these columns:

  • site: site

  • first_ts: time of first detection at specified site

  • last_ts: time of last detection at specified site

  • tot_ts: total amount of time between first and last detection at specified site, output in specified unit (defaults to "hours")

  • num.tags: total number of unique tags detected at specified site

  • num.det: total number of tag detections at specified site

Examples

# Download sample project 176 to .motus database (username/password are "motus.sample")
if (FALSE) sql_motus <- tagme(176, new = TRUE)

# Or use example data base in memory
sql_motus <- tagmeSample()

# convert sql file "sql_motus" to a tbl called "tbl_alltags"
library(dplyr)
tbl_alltags <- tbl(sql_motus, "alltagsGPS") 

# convert the tbl "tbl_alltags" to a data.frame called "df_alltags"
df_alltags <- tbl_alltags %>% 
  collect() %>% 
  as.data.frame() 

# Create site summaries for all sites within detection data with time in
# default hours using data.frame df_alltags
site_summary <- siteSum(tbl_alltags)


# Create site summaries for only select sites with time in minutes
sub <- filter(df_alltags, recvDeployName %in% 
                c("Niapiskau", "Netitishi", "Old Cur", "Washkaugou"))
site_summary <- siteSum(sub, units = "mins")


# Create site summaries for only a select species, Red Knot
site_summary <- siteSum(filter(df_alltags, speciesEN == "Red Knot"))
