Adjustment of diving behaviour with prey encounters and body condition in a deep diving predator: the Southern Elephant Seal
Dive characteristics obtained for six post-breeding females Southern Elephant Seals (SES). SES are identified with their ID. Each row is a dive and each column is a variable associated to this dive: diveCount: number of the dive for the individual considered startTime: time at the beginning of the d...

| Summary: | Dive characteristics obtained for six post-breeding females Southern Elephant Seals (SES). SES are identified with their ID. Each row is a dive and each column is a variable associated to this dive: diveCount: number of the dive for the individual considered startTime: time at the beginning of the dive diveDuration: dive duration (s) maxDepth: maximum depth reaching (m) surfaceTimeAFTER: time spent at the surface after the dive (s) descentDuration: descent phase duration (s) bottomDuration: bottom phase duration (s) ascentDuration: ascent phase duration (s) isDrift: 1 drift dive - 0 non-drift dive captureCount: number of capture during the whole dive captureBottomCOUNT: number of capture during the bottom phase descentAngle: average body angle of the animal during the descent phase (°) ascentAngle: average body angle of the animal during the ascent phase (°) bodyDensity: body density of the animal (kg.m^-3) descentEffort: average swimming effort of the animal during the descent phase (m.s^-3) bottomEffort: average swimming effort of the animal during the bottom phase (m.s^-3) ascentEffort: average swimming effort of the animal during the ascent phase (m.s^-3) descentEffortTOT: sum of the swimming effort of the animal during the descent phase (m.s^-2) bottomEffortTOT: sum of the swimming effort of the animal during the bottom phase (m.s^-2) ascentEffortTOT: sum of the swimming effort of the animal during the ascent phase (m.s^-2) captureDescentCOUNT: number of capture during the descent phase captureAscentCOUNT:number of capture during the ascent phase surfaceTimeBEFORE: time spent at the surface before the dive (s) ID: user name of the animal |
