These datasets accompany the manuscript "Directional biosonar beams allow echolocating harbour porpoises to actively discriminate and intercept closely-spaced targets". Three XLSX spreadsheets contain data for trial-specific variables (Dataset A, n=120, used for trial duration, discrimination success, number of scans, buzz duration, range to target at buzz onset, range to target at discrimination), on-axis click candidates (Dataset B, n=1810, used for delta T, delta EL), and true on-axis clicks (Dataset C, n=906, used for SL and bearing calculations). Units of each variable are denoted in the column headers. Details on data collection, curation, and analysis can be found in the Malinka et al. publication ([insert link to DOI once available]).
