Additional information

Briefly, can you describe the purpose of this package and how it fits into the Tracking CTV? This package is comprised of functions that facilitate the identification of areas of importance for biodiversity, such as Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs), based on individual tracking data.

In terms of the tracking workflow (see Figure in the CTV), where does the package fit? (Feel free to mention any particular functions and how they fit as well.) I'd put it in Post-processing, Data cleaning, as a new data cleaning function: splitting tracks into trips for central-place foraging species. Track description since it computes summary statistics such as trip duration, maximum distance, cumulative distance traveled, direction (from origin to furthest point). Space and habitat use characterization: home ranges and UD with kernels
