Assessing the impacts of limited nocturnal roost availability on pre-migratory activity budgets in Hudsonian Whimbrel (Numenius hudsonicus)
October 7, 2026
This software release contains Program R script files where each script file completes a different step of the analysis of movement tracking data to assess daily activity budgets, foraging habitat use, and foraging success of Hudsonian Whimbrel (Numenius hudsonicus) while on migratory stopover in South Carolina, USA.

Mobile species often travel long distances between the sites they use for different behaviors, such as central-place foragers that make daily commutes between a central roost and foraging sites. For migratory shorebird species that use coastal habitats, the limited availability of suitable nocturnal roost sites can lead individuals to commute long distances to their foraging territories...
