- Identifying important sites for biodiversity is vital for conservation and management. However, there is a lack of accessible, easily applied tools that enable practitioners to delineate important sites for highly mobile species using established criteria.
- We introduce the R package ‘track2KBA’, a tool to identify important sites at the population level using tracking data from individual animals based on three key steps: (a) identifying individual core areas, (b) assessing population-level representativeness of the sample and (c) quantifying spatial overlap among individuals and scaling up to the population.
- We describe package functionality and exemplify its application using tracking data from three taxa in contrasting environments: a seal, a marine turtle and a migratory land bird.
- This tool facilitates the delineation of sites of ecological relevance for diverse taxa and provides output useful for assessing their importance to a population or species, as in the Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) Standard. As such, ‘track2KBA’ can contribute directly to conservation planning at global and regional levels.

track2KBA:一个 R 包,用于从跟踪数据中识别生物多样性的重要地点
- 确定生物多样性的重要地点对于保护和管理至关重要。然而,缺乏易于使用、易于应用的工具,使从业者能够使用既定标准为高度流动的物种划定重要地点。
- 我们引入了 R 包“track2KBA”,这是一种基于三个关键步骤使用来自个体动物的跟踪数据来识别群体层面重要地点的工具:(a) 识别个体核心区域,(b) 评估样本的群体层面代表性(c) 量化个体之间的空间重叠并扩大到总体。
- 我们描述了包的功能,并使用来自对比环境中的三种分类群的跟踪数据来举例说明其应用:海豹、海龟和候鸟。
- 该工具有助于划定与不同类群生态相关的地点,并提供有助于评估其对种群或物种的重要性的输出,如关键生物多样性区 (KBA) 标准。因此,“track2KBA”可以直接为全球和区域层面的保护规划做出贡献。
