This package applies methods used to estimate animal homerange, butinstead of geospatial coordinates, we use isotopic coordinates. Theestimation methods include: 1) 2-dimensional bivariate normal kernelutilization density estimator, 2) bivariate normal ellipse estimator,and 3) minimum convex polygon estimator, all applied to stable isotopedata. Additionally, functions to determine niche area, polygon overlapbetween groups and levels (confidence contours) and plottingcapabilities.
