Description
This repository contains supplemental data associated with the study. It includes the following documents:
- SoundsDatabase.zip : A folder containing 3,181 individual audio recordings of animal contact calls. Each file is labeled with metadata including species, context of production, and emotional valence (positive/negative).
- Data S1: A spreadsheet with detailed information for each call, including animal ID, species, call type, emotional valence, context of production, number of calls, and references to the studies from which the calls were collected.
