DATA & FILE OVERVIEW
1. File List: 
There are three data files associated with the Functional Ecology publication cited above. 
All are presented as Excel spreadsheets and include the following files:
"File 1. Williams_heart_rate-stroke_freq-IBI_distributions.xlsx.  This file contains the raw data for narwhal heart rate, stroke frequency, "
and interbeat interval organized by individual narwhal and dive number for data distibution analyses.
File 2. Williams_HR-SF_analysis_data.xlsx. This file presents the matched heart rate and stroke frequency data organized by 
individual narwhal and dive number.  Both seismic exposed and control data are provided. 
File 3. Williams_summary_figures_dataset.xlsx.  This file provides additional data related to figures not presented in the previous 
two files.  This includes information for changes in ODBA and gliding summaries. 
METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION
1. Methods used for collection/generation and analysis of data are presented in: 
"Methods are described in: Terrie M. Williams, Susanna B. Blackwell, Outi Tervo, Eva Garde, Mikkel-Holger S. Sinding, "
