Subset of data from the manuscript: Empirically testing the influence of light regime on diel activity patterns in a marine predator reveals complex interacting factors shaping behaviour. Functional Ecology 2022.

"LC2018_3_CrwLocsSub.csv"
Subset of CTCRW-modeled locations at 15 min intervals for beluga ID LC2018#3
This dataset has three columns:
- datetime: Date and time of the location (UTC)
- PTT: Platform Transmitter Terminal (used as tag or individual identifier)
- Lat: Latitude in decimal degrees
- Long: Longitude in decimal degrees

"LC2018_3_Depth_ts_Sub.csv"
Subset of depth time series data at 75 s intervals for beluga ID LC2018#3
This dataset has two columns:
- datetime: Date and time of the depth record (UTC)
- depth: Depth value transmitted (m)


R code for using this data to replicate the methods for identifying diel patterns in dive behaviour can be found in a GitHub repository (https://github.com/storriel/Diel_Dive_Behaviour).
