Hi, I would like to calculate kernel areas using kernel.area function from adehabitat package.
My original coordintes are in latidude/longitude. I suppose that as an input for the function the coordinates should be in other fomat - I assume it is UTM coordinates (seeing the example in help, I haven't found more information about it...). Therefore I converted the lat/long coordinates and calculated the area for various kernels. The problem is that it gives me the same area for all levels... ## sample of my data > dput(xy)structure(list(long = c(-32.73, -32.12, -31.39, -31.02, -32.16, -32.17, -32.06, -32.32, -32.58, -33.22, -32.85, -33.36, -33.37, -33.5, -34.76, -35.51, -34.39, -33.27, -32.65, -32.66, -34.41, -35.79, -34.29, -35.04, -34.67, -33.92, -34.54, -35.79, -34.66, -34.66, -35.91, -35.78, -38.15, -38.15, -36.89, -35.76, -35.75, -35.75, -35.62, -37.73, -36.72, -35.84, -36.71, -37.82, -37.06, -36.05, -36.91, -37.65, -37.51, -37.87, -37.36, -36.97, -38.08, -38.07, -37.05, -35.91, -35.14, -36.5, -36.48, -36.59, -36.82, -37.55, -36.16, -36.39, -37.49, -35.35, -35.83, -36.93, -36.66, -36.64, -36.49, -36.47, -36.45, -36.42, -36.27, -34.75, -34.85, -35.08, -33.8, -35.28, -35.25, -33.73, -33.7, -34.93, -35.28, -34, -33.6, -33.57, -33.55, -35.89, -35.99, -36.09, -36.56, -36.54, -37.13, -38.11, -39.2, -38.93, -38.53, -37.62, -37.35, -37.07, -36.54, -36.89, -36.74, -37.43, -37.78, -36, -36.1, -35.7, -35.93, -37.9, -37.5, -35.85, -37.07, -38.8, -38.77, -38.62, -37.72, -38.82, -38.67, -36.65, -36.37, -35.6, -35.7, -35.43, -35.66, -36.38, -36.86, -36.84, -34.95, -34.92, -36.65, -36.63, -36.24, -36.34, -34.95, -35.06, -36.16, -36.52, -36.01, -35.86, -35.47, -35.21, -34.94, -35.8, -34.54, -34.78, -36.26, -35, -34.74, -35.1, -34.72, -35.33, -35.32, -35.44, -35.05, -34.67, -35.16, -35.03, -32.77, -33.02, -31.76, -32.01, -34.38, -34.5, -33.25, -32.37, -31.37, -31.24, -32.12, -33.12, -33.12, -33.12, -33.62, -32.13, -31.5, -31.88, -31.01, -30.89, -30.4, -30.53, -31.54, -28.66, -29.01, -28.87, -29.35, -29.33, -29.31, -30.16, -30.64, -29.74, -29.47, -29.95, -29.92, -29.53, -29.88, -30.98, -30.58, -31.18 ), complat = c(23.04, 20.44, 20.95, 21.12, 18.51, 16.92, 17.13, 16.98, 16.83, 17.73, 18.6, 19.77, 20.26, 20.43, 18.35, 17.56, 20.29, 20.45, 19.38, 19.86, 17.24, 16.8, 20.36, 22.54, 23.78, 23.64, 21.56, 21.99, 24.82, 25.71, 24.02, 22.57, 19.42, 17.01, 18.64, 18.82, 17.01, 16.92, 17.11, 18.97, 22.57, 22.72, 20.29, 20.46, 22.91, 22.31, 19.92, 19.84, 21.03, 21.19, 22.1, 22.26, 20.44, 19.35, 20.29, 20.46, 19.89, 21.54, 22.89, 23.05, 22.51, 22.9, 25.31, 26.11, 25.39, 22.87, 19.99, 20.18, 22, 21.95, 22.13, 22.07, 22.02, 21.98, 22.16, 21.2, 19.04, 19.01, 20.85, 23.06, 24.33, 23.43, 21.62, 22.48, 23.55, 22.21, 21.06, 21.48, 21.46, 22.99, 25.3, 25.48, 25.05, 24.62, 23.98, 24.39, 24.16, 23.31, 23.08, 22.86, 22.42, 22.42, 22.42, 23.08, 23.72, 17.87, 16.19, 18.6, 20.23, 20.48, 20.94, 19.12, 17.47, 18.68, 21.02, 20.59, 19.22, 19.48, 18.8, 16.65, 15.43, 17.92, 19.39, 19.89, 20.63, 21.13, 21.17, 20.75, 20.79, 21.3, 19.7, 17.8, 19.32, 21.27, 21.09, 20.43, 19.28, 17.59, 18.4, 19.7, 18.77, 18.58, 18.38, 18.45, 18.51, 16.76, 15.22, 13.08, 14.8, 18.08, 19.19, 18.49, 17.77, 16.5, 16.02, 15.82, 15.61, 15.41, 16.61, 17.52, 15.35, 11.89, 10.73, 8.28, 11.17, 13.99, 12.85, 12, 12.07, 11.2, 12.23, 12.31, 11.1, 11.18, 11.91, 14.56, 15.61, 14.76, 13.24, 12.34, 11.75, 10.81, 12.28, 13, 13.23, 13.99, 14.48, 14.96, 14.91, 13.55, 13.51, 14.79, 15.78, 14.71, 14.16, 14.38, 15.12, 14.32, 12.99, 11.64 )), .Names = c("long", "complat"), row.names = c("48", "49", "50", "51", "52", "53", "54", "55", "56", "57", "58", "59", "60", "61", "62", "63", "64", "65", "66", "67", "68", "69", "70", "71", "72", "73", "74", "75", "76", "77", "78", "79", "80", "81", "82", "83", "84", "85", "86", "87", "88", "89", "90", "91", "92", "93", "94", "95", "96", "97", "98", "99", "100", "101", "102", "103", "104", "105", "106", "107", "108", "109", "110", "111", "112", "113", "114", "115", "116", "117", "118", "119", "120", "121", "122", "123", "124", "125", "126", "127", "128", "129", "130", "131", "132", "133", "134", "135", "136", "137", "138", "139", "140", "141", "142", "143", "144", "145", "146", "147", "148", "149", "150", "151", "152", "153", "154", "155", "156", "157", "158", "159", "160", "161", "162", "163", "164", "165", "166", "167", "168", "169", "170", "171", "172", "173", "174", "175", "176", "177", "178", "179", "180", "181", "182", "183", "184", "185", "186", "187", "188", "189", "190", "191", "192", "193", "194", "195", "196", "197", "198", "199", "200", "201", "202", "203", "204", "205", "206", "207", "208", "209", "210", "211", "212", "213", "214", "215", "216", "217", "218", "219", "220", "221", "222", "223", "224", "225", "226", "227", "228", "229", "230", "11310", "11410", "1154", "1161", "1171", "1181", "1191", "1201", "1211", "1221", "1231", "1241", "1251", "1261", "1271", "1281", "1291"), class = "data.frame") > head(xy) long complat 48 -32.73 23.04 49 -32.12 20.44 50 -31.39 20.95 51 -31.02 21.12 52 -32.16 18.51 53 -32.17 16.92 ##
