Having now analyzed a lot of buzzdetect results, I noticed that the first few R scripts for any bioacoustics project are almost identical. For my own convenience, I started building an R package to handle these common tasks. As the package developed, I figured it would be equally handy for other buzzdetect users, so I built out the documentation and reworked the functions so that they make sense outside of the OSU Bee Lab.

After a lot of time renaming variables and writing docs , I’m happy to say that buzzr is ready to see the light of day! Check out the detailed vignette on the official documentation site here.

Cheers!
