#Stands for “number of”. The minimum total distance (km) is the along-the-path distance calculated from the CRW-interpolated tracks. Sex/Status: F = Female, F/c = Female with a calf, M = Male. Group type at the time of tagging: MC = Mother-calf, MCE = Mother calf escort, C = Competitive groups, G3 = Group of three adults, G4 = Group of four adults, P = Pair, S = Singleton. Locality: O = Orne bank, A = Antigonia seamount, CB = Chesterfield-Bellona archipelago. Date leaving the breeding region (see boundaries in Fig. 1a) is annotated “-” when the tag stopped emitting before the whale left the breeding region.
