Maintenance and Update Frequency: asNeeded Statement: The model was developed in NetLogo (version 6.0.1; Wilensky 1999; https://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/) with data collected from female southern elephant seals from Macquarie Island (see e.g. McMahon et al 2005; Mar Ecol Prog Ser 288, p273-283). The SES DEB-IBM was modified from a DEB-IBM developed for water fleas, by Martin et al (2012; Methods Ecol Evol 3(2) p 445-449) using energetics data collated through DEBtool (http://www.debtheory.org/wik/). The raw data presented here (.csv files) are analysed using R (R Core Team 2017; https://www.R-project.org/). The first 50 years of the data are discarded as this is the run-in period of the model, and may not accurately represent the actual model run. For each parameter selected, the mean (or min, or max, as required) value has been taken for each run over the selected time frame (100 years), from which then the relevant analyses are done. Data is collected on a daily time-step from the model, over 180 years, where each year consists of 360 days (i.e. 12 x 30 days). Credit This study was supported by the Australian Government's Cooperative Research Centres Programme through the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystem Cooperative Research Centre, the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, through the Australian Antarctic Science Program, project #4347, and through an Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship. This meta data describes the raw output of the SES DEB-IBM built in NetLogo (version 6.0.1, March 2017; available from http://modelingcommons.org/browse/one_model/5348). The raw output consists of .csv files from several model runs. The detailed explanation of the model workings and background are published in Goedegebuure et al. (2018, PLoS ONE; Modelling southern elephant seals Mirounga leonina using an individual-based model coupled with a dynamic energy budget; DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0194950). In short: we developed an individual-based model which is coupled with a dynamic energy ...
