The fisher data are available from Movebank: https://www.datarepository.movebank.org/handle/10255/move.330 and were originally described in LaPoint et al. (2013). These data, and also the environmental data, are available in the amt package (Signer et al. 2019). The data usage is permitted for exploratory purposes. For other purposes please get in contact (Scott LaPoint, sdlapoint@gmail.com).

FILE OVERVIEW
---------------------

1. fisher.csv = fisher location data collected by LaPoint et al. (2013).

2. Code_application.R and Code_application.html = R code (and associated html file containing output from running the code). This code fits circular-linear copula to fisher location data, to describe movements in terms of correlated step-lengths and turn angles.
