  • The preprint of our model-based hypothesis framework to define and estimate the diel niche using our bespoke R package (Diel.Niche) is now available on Biorxiv.

  • Our Diel.Niche R package is now live: https://github.com/diel-project/Diel-Niche-Modeling

  • The di(el)ves have processed 8.6 MILLION records spanning 39 countries and almost 20k sites. We have frozen our data, wrapping up our data checks, and starting our analyses in Sep/Oct 2022. The fun begins!

  • We ended the summer of 2022 with over 7 million records from more than 35 countries and a tally of ten thousand years equivalent of camera trap nights across sites. We are wrapping up preliminary processing and transitioning to analysis in September 2022.

  • We have over 3 million records from more than 8000 sites spanning 20 countries (and counting) as of June 2022. The data is continuing to roll in!
