Abstract
We describe conditional circular kernels to test hypotheses in animal activity. ►The models allow control of the smoothing parameter and density isopleth. We apply our models to camera-trap data on large mammals from the Pantanal. The models adequately describe the timing of main activity peaks. Activity range and activity overlap prove useful in comparing the species.
