I am Alexandre Courtiol, a quantitative wildlife biologist based at IZW Berlin.

For info on my research group, check out www.datazoogang.de

This page is motivated by the fact that most people using GitHub (including me) fail to organise their repositories using a coherent hierarchical system.

Instead all the repos lay at the root, forming a growing mess.

I have thus created this page as a guide to my GitHub den: it indicates what to find where.

I have also included a few repos to which I contributed and which are not stored under my personal GitHub account.

I did this for myself, but perhaps it can be useful for others too (if only as an inspiration).

• IsoriX: isoscape computation and inference of spatial origins using mixed models
• lay: a simple and efficient implementation of rowwise jobs
• timevarcorr: computes how the correlation between 2 time-series changes over time

• coronaR & excess_mortality_COVID19: workflow to monitor COVID progress (probably no longer working)
• dfuzz: to tidy columns of strings (experimental)
• hyenaR: to wrangle the data from the Ngorongoro Hyena Project (private)
• inferpref: to infer preferences from mating patterns (private)
• manyfold: to explore data by folding columns (experimental)
• packtrack: to monitor use of packages (experimental)

• accipiteR: for a paper about how Northern goshawks cope with the urban environment
• gallbladdeR: for a paper about the evolution of gallbladders (private)
• isoMM: for a paper in prep about isoscapes and mixed models (private)
• mallaRd: for a paper about the breeding behaviour of mallards in Berlin
• matingRhinos: for a paper about mate choice and mating success in white rhinos
• mammalianMI: for a paper about how to quantify maternal investment in mammals
• MPA_questionnaire: for a questionnaire on the number of people working in marine protected areas
• predictMM: for a paper in prep on the topic of point predictions in linear models (private)
• rangeRinPA & rangeRinPA_private: for a paper on the number of people working in terrestrial protected areas
• seeadleR_private: for an upcoming paper on the changes in distribution of White-tailed Sea Eagles in Germany
• SileR: for a paper about survivorship on Asian elephants
• twinR & twinR-private: for a paper about the relation between twinning rates and fertility in humans
• vullioud2018: for a paper on dominance in spotted hyenas
• winteR & winteR_old_private: for a paper on bat hibernation and climate change

Please refer to the original repos to know more about these packages.
