Description: Provides tools to analyse animal movement and space-use
        patterns from telemetry data using methods derived from
        statistical physics. Methods span displacement-based
        approaches, distribution fitting, space-use metrics (including
        the influence of correlations on space-use), network-based
        community detection, and measures of entropy and
        predictability. The package enables characterisation of these
        patterns across spatial and temporal scales, including
        variation within and among individuals (inter- and
        intraspecific analyses). Outputs include interpretable metrics
        and visualisations to support ecological analysis and the
        investigation of fundamental movement processes. For
        applications of these methods in ecological studies see
        Rodríguez et al. (2017) <doi:10.1038/s41598-017-00165-0> and
        Sequeira et al. (2018) <doi:10.1073/pnas.1716137115>.
