Hi, I marked some flowers with fluorescent powder and collected flowers dourrounding these sources. Thus, I have a dataset with the amount of pollen deposited at different distances to the pollen source. Does anybody know an easy and straight forward way to compute a dispersal kernel in R or another software? Thanks a lot.
For basic and advanced home range est. I've used adehabitatHR in R. The basic theory of kernels and UDs should transfer well to dispersal questions in that you should be able to compute probability surfaces at varying distances from the source (or central place for an animal etc), but see what you think. I've applied this approach to wildlife not pollen

Hi Aaron, thanks a lot for your reply - that may potentially work. I found https://github.com/MarcoDVisser/DDMDD , but its rather math heavy. I will try out both.
