The package

ETN is an R package with functions to access and process data from the European Tracking Network (ETN). The R package is available through GitHub. The ETN infrastructure currently requires the package to be run only within the LifeWatch.be RStudio server, which is password protected. A login can be requested here.

To get started, you can follow the Explore acoustic telemetry data tutorial.

The ETN R package was developed by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). And should be cited as:
