Description

This repository contains the supplementary material required to reproduce the findings of the study Spatio-temporal analysis of white-fronted geese temperature trajectories.

Software requirements

• Python 3
• QGIS (3.x any version)

Manual for reproducibility

1. Clone this repository
2. Add points.shp and lines.shp of geese trajectories into databases/shapefiles(including .dbf .fix .prj .qix .shp and .shx files). The GPS data used for this study must be requested from the authors on the Movebank platform. We are not authorized to distribute the dataset.
3. In file goose_analysis.py modify project_folder variable to the current location of this folder on your computer
4. Modify QGIS configuration for Python:

• Go to Settings -> Options
• In the window that appears, go to the tab System
• In that tab, go to the Environment section
• Check the box Use custom variables
• Add a variable PYTHONPATH and as the value add the path where your modules are located (same as project_folder from step 3)
• Restart QGIS

5. RUN goose_analysis.py script by using the QGIS - Python IDLE. After running the script figures of this study are going to be available in the figures folder.
