The file contains the diving data for each individual on each day of the foraging trip: median time spent at the bottom during a dive (Bottom_time), median dive duration (Dive_duration), median descent rate (Descent_rate), median ascent rate (Ascent_rate), total number of dives per day (N_dives), number of drift dives per day (N_Drift_dives) and daily median drift rate (Drift_rate). The lean mass on each day for the two assumed functional forms (Lean_mass_1 and Lean_mass_2) and a variable indicating whether the median drift rate on that day was positive or negative (Indicator) are also included.
