Getting Started with the ecotourism Package

1 👋 Welcome

The ecotourism package provides tools to analyze ecological observation data alongside weather conditions. This guide will help you get started with the package and direct you to detailed vignettes for specific organisms and workflows.

2 🧭 What You Can Do

Analyze observation records for various species with tools to:

• 📍 Identify top observation sites
  
• 🌦️ Integrate environmental data from nearby weather stations
  
• 🗺️ Visualize spatiotemporal patterns

3 🧪 Organism-Specific Workflows

Explore vignettes dedicated to individual species:

• 🔦 Glowworms Observations
  
• 🐦 Gouldian Finch Observations
  
• 🐠 Manta Rays Observations
  
• 🌸 Orchids Observations

Each vignette covers:

• Data cleaning and wrangling
  
• Mapping and temporal summaries
