Ecology and conservation of socially learned foraging tactics in toothed whales

Overview This package contains the data and R code to replicate the analyses and figures of the review article, "Ecology and conservation of socially learned foraging tactics in toothed whales", submitted to the special issue of Philosophical Transactions B, "Animal Culture: conservation in a changing world". Metadata for CSV files used for analyses are provided below, and detailed instructions on running code are available at: https://github.com/JoaoVallePereira/Toothed_Whales_Forag_Tactics. For full description of variables, see supplemental material associated with publication.
