Some papers that I have found particularly useful when approaching animal movement data

Johnson et al. (2008). Ecology. 89(5):1208 – 1215

Jonsen et al. (2013). Deep Sea Research II.  88-89: 34-46

Patterson et al. (2008).  Trends in Ecology and Evolution.  23(2): 87-94

Sumner et al. (2009). PLoS One. 4(10): e7324.

Thiebot et al. (2010).  Endangered Species Research. 10: 341-353

And some R code that can be used in dealing with animal telemetry data, relating to the methodologies outlined above

Continuous time CRAWl model for animal telemetry data (argos, old error structure)

Bayesian switching state space model for telemetry data (argos, old error structure)
