New blog post sharing updates on the latest version of the Diel.Niche R package, which we just released about an hour ago. Interested in quantifying if a species is nocturnal with data? Well it is easier than ever now! 🧪 #rstats #cameratrapping

Morning lark or night owl? Prevailing ideas of mammal activity are outdated
Many species can't be easily categorized as nocturnal or diurnal, a new study suggests.

When the wild things are: Defining mammalian diel activity and plasticity
Many species of mammals worldwide are highly plastic in their timing of diel activity, which has unknown fitness consequences.

Arctic foxes were almost hunted to extinction in Sweden, Norway and Finland. Can projects to breed and feed them help this native species return for good?

[Iannarilli et 2024](besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...) show how to use hierarchical models to estimate animal diel activity. We can also use this type of modeling to [estimate diel overlap between species](github.com/diel-project...).

🚨New paper out 🚨

We put together a how-to guide on analyzing diel activity patterns using hierarchical models while accounting for site-to-site variability and sampling effort.
