The ringR package

The ringR package contains useful functions to handle ringing data (e.g. to derive durations between captures, determining annual first captures etc.) and to make specific plots (e.g. to plot capture frequencies). These functions can be used in other fields where similar capture-recapture data are collected.

The ringR package contains functions and data sets associated with the paper entitled 'Hitchhikers’ guide to analysing bird ringing data Introduction, Part 1: data cleaning, preparation and exploratory analyses' published in Ornis Hungarica 23(2), in 2015 by Andrea Harnos, Péter Fehérvári and Tibor Csörgő.

The online appendix of the above paper containing the codes and dataset can be downloaded from here.
