This identifier can be a ring number, a name, the same as the associated tag ID, etc. If the data owner does not provide an Animal ID, an internal Movebank animal identifier may sometimes be shown. example: 91876A, Gary same as: individual-local-identifier attachment type: The way a tag is attached to an animal. Values are chosen from a controlled list: collar: The tag is attached by a collar around the animal's neck. glue: The tag is attached to the animal using glue. harness: The tag is attached to the animal using a harness. implant: The tag is placed under the skin of the an animal. tape: The tag is attached to the animal using tape. other: user specified behavioural classification: Behavioural classifications assigned to the animal by the data owner. The method for defining and assigning these classifications are unique to the study and can be described using behaviour according to. example: roosting, foraging, running THIS DATASET: Each field contains four values separated by “:”. In order these are Ants: Y = yes, N = no Ant species: N = none, B = Eciton burchellii, L = Labidus praedator, H = Eciton hamatum, M = Eciton mexicanum, Y = yes Observation: N = non-scheduled observation, S = scheduled observation, F = foraging observation, L = long observation Proportion of time foraging during observation (0-1) event ID: An identifier for the set of information associated with each record or event in a data set. A unique event ID is assigned to every time-location or other time-measurement record in Movebank. example: 6340565 units: none habitat: A category or description of the habitat in which the event occurred. Information about how the values were obtained can be provided using habitat according to. example: oak savannah, pre-Cordilleran steppe THIS DATASET: CA = competitor absent, CP = competitor present latitude (decimal degree): The geographic longitude of a location along an animal track as estimated by the processed sensor data. Positive values are east of the Greenwich Meridian, negative values are west of it. example: -121.1761111 units: decimal degrees, WGS84 reference system same as: location lat latitude (UTM): The geographic longitude of the geographic center of a location along an animal track as estimated by the processed sensor data. example: 3628361.84012295 units: meters, WGS84 reference system same as: utm northing life stage: The age class or life stage of the animal at the beginning of the deployment. Can be years or months of age or terms such as "adult", "subadult" and "juvenile". Units should be defined in the values (e.g. "2 years"). example: juvenile, adult units: Any units should be defined in the remarks. THIS DATASET: A = adult local timestamp: The date and time a sensor measurement was taken in the time zone of the study reference location. example: 2008-08-14 15:31:00.000 format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.sss units: specific to the study time zone same as: study local timestamp longitude (decimal degree): The geographic longitude of a location along an animal track as estimated by the processed sensor data. Positive values are east of the Greenwich Meridian, negative values are west of it. example: -121.1761111 units: decimal degrees, WGS84 reference system same as: location long longitude (UTM): The geographic longitude of the geographic center of a location along an animal track as estimated by the processed sensor data. example: 756243.7836 units: meters, WGS84 reference system same as: utm easting manipulation type: The way in which the animal was manipulated during the deployment. Additional details about the manipulation can be provided using manipulation comments. Values are chosen from a controlled list: confined: The animal's movement was restricted to within a defined area. none: The animal received no treatment other than the tag attachment. relocated: The animal was released from a site other than the one at which it was captured. manipulated other: The animal was manipulated in some other way, such as a physiological manipulation. sensor type: The type of sensor with which data were collected. Values are chosen from a controlled list: acceleration: The sensor collects acceleration data. accessory measurements: The sensor collects accessory measurements, such as battery voltage. Argos Doppler Shift: The sensor is using Argos Doppler shift for determining position. bird ring: The animal is identified by a ring that has a unique ID. GPS: The sensor uses GPS to find location and stores these. natural mark: The animal is identified by a natural marking. radio transmitter: The sensor is a classical radio transmitter. solar geolocator: The sensor collects light levels, which are used to determine position (for processed locations). solar geolocator raw: The sensor collects light levels, which are used to determine position (for raw light-level measurements). sex: The sex of the biological individual(s) represented in the Occurrence. Values are from a controlled list: m: male f: female study: The name of the study in Movebank in which data are stored. study site: The name of the deployment site, for example a field station or colony. example: Pickerel Island North THIS DATASET: CA = competitor absent, CP = competitor present study time zone: The time zone at the study reference location. example: Mountain Standard Time units: none tag ID: A unique identifier for the tag, provided by the data owner. If the data owner does not provide a tag ID, an internal Movebank tag identifier may sometimes be shown. example: 2342, ptt_4532 same as: tag local identifier tag manufacturer name: The company or person that produced the tag. example: Holohil same as: manufacturer tag mass: The mass of the tag. example: 24 units: grams tag readout method: The way the data are received from the tag. Values are chosen from a controlled list: satellite: Data are transferred via satellite. phone network: Data are transferred via a phone network, such as GSM or AMPS. other wireless: Data are transferred via another form of wireless data transfer, such as a VHF radio transmitter/receiver. tag retrieval: The tag must be physically retrieved in order to obtain the data. taxon: The scientific name of the species on which the tag was deployed, as defined by the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS, www.itis.gov). If the species name can not be provided, this should be the lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined and that is used in the ITIS taxonomy. Additional information can be provided using the term taxon detail. example: Buteo swainsoni same as: species, animal taxon, individual taxon canonical name timestamp: The date and time a sensor measurement was taken. example: 2008-08-14 18:31:00.000 format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.sss units: UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) or GPS time, which is a few leap seconds different from UTC UTM zone: The UTM zone, selected based on the location of each event, used to convert locations from decimal degrees to UTM. example: 14N units: none visible: Determines whether an event is visible on the Movebank Search map. Values are calculated automatically, with FALSE indicating that the event has been marked as an outlier by manually marked outlier or algorithm marked outlier. Allowed values are TRUE or FALSE. ----------- More Information For more information about this repository, see www.movebank.org/node/15294, the FAQ at www.movebank.org/node/2220, or contact us at support@movebank.org.
