Data for: "Diffusion during collective turns in bird flocks under predation"

This repository contains the data accompanying the paper:

The simulated data of bird flocks performing collective turns are generated by the computational model ColT. More information about the model and data can be found in the README file and the connected GitHub repository: https://github.com/marinapapa/ColT-Model/
