Multi-regional comparison of scarring and pigmentation patterns in Cuvier’s beaked whales

These files represent standardized appearance data from photos of
individually-identified, known-sex, adult Cuvier's beaked whales
(Ziphius cavirostris) from three distinct study regions. We provide both
the original raw datasets and the filtered datasets that were ultimately
used in analyses of scarring density and pigmentation patterns to
determine the extent to which they are diagnostic of sex in all three
regions. The R code used to analyze these files is provided along with
detailed descriptions of the data in a README file.
