Short summary

This article presents the first open-access dataset of wild short-beaked common dolphin recordings. It was collected at sea in the Bay of Biscay (France) and comprises audio recordings of echolocation clicks, whistles, and other social sounds as well as visual observations of dolphin behaviour. This dataset could be used to improve the comprehension of dolphin communication by scientists, which could assist in the development of conservation strategies, particularly with regard to by-catches.
