nestR is an R package offering functions to detect breeding attempts and probabilistically estimate their outcome from avian GPS telemetry data.

​

Breeding birds exhibit recursive movement patterns to and from their nest location. This signal can be detected from movement trajectories at the typical spatio-temporal resolution of GPS data and used to pinpoint the location of a nest. Then, patterns of nest revisitation can be used to estimate whether the attempt was carried out successfully or failed, after accounting for imperfect detection of nest visits.
