Data summarized by period (day/night).

This dataset was used to publish the article "Sub-fat temperature variations and heart-rate adjustments in the southern elephant seal Mirounga leonina as a function of dive duration, depth, and water temperature".
This dataset contains 7 subsets : one for each individual and one for all.

Each individual subset contains 30 variables :
Nb_Period : number of the period,Start_period : datetime of the period beginning, End_period : datetime of the period ending,Duration_period : time (hours) of the period duration,Time_period : corresponds to the time of the day (day or night) during the considering period,Nb_dives : number of dives during the period,Sum/Mean_dive_duration : total/mean dive time during the period (s),Sum/Mean_surf_duration : total/mean surface recovering time during the period (s),Mean/Max_depth : mean/maximum diving depth during the period (m),Sum/Mean_max_depth : total/mean of maximum diving depths during the period (m),Sum/Mean_Capt : total/mean of prey capture attempts during the period,Total_strokes : total of fin strokes during the period,Total_SAS : total of sum of strokes amplitudes (cm),Total/Mean_DivEff : total/mean of diving effort during the period (cm/s),Mean/Sum/Ampl_Ta : mean/total/amplitude of ambient temperature during the period (°C),Mean/Sum_ampl_Ta : mean/total of ambient temperature amplitudes during the period (°C),Mean/Sum/Ampl_Tsc : mean/total/amplitude of subcutaneous temperature during the period (°C),Mean/Sum_ampl_Tsc : mean/total of subcutaneous temperature amplitudes during the period (°C).
