The abmAnimalMovement simulates animal movement use a discrete time agent-based model, programmed in C++ via the Rcpp package. The simulations include a number of key internal and external movement influences, as well as parameters for navigation and mobility capacity of the animal.
A more complete description of the package, alongside a demonstration can be found at DOI: TBC. Or a draft version of that manuscript within the package Github here.
