Data availability: Currently archived on FigShare with private link provided at submission to journal for review. Data will be made public with an associated DOI upon acceptance.
Code availability: see bci.R in this directory. NOTE The code is written such that you must specify the species for which you are running the code. It is designed so that identical analyses are performed for each species. Therefore, titles for figures MUST be checked to see that they are correct for the species being run. See comments in code for specifications on whether to use RHF or ZYG BCI for the species at hand.
