In general, higher values indicate more activity. Range and method of calculation may vary by the tag provider, model, settings and placement on the animal. example: 209 units: count entity described: event same as: GPS activity count URI: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB/current/MVB000114 animal ID: An individual identifier for the animal, provided by the data owner. Values are unique within the study. If the data owner does not provide an Animal ID, an internal Movebank animal identifier is sometimes shown. example: TUSC_CV5 units: none entity described: individual same as: individual local identifier URI: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB/current/MVB000016 animal 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'. Best practice is to define units in the values if needed (e.g. '2 years'). example: juvenile, adult units: none entity described: deployment URI: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB/current/MVB000018 animal sex: The sex of the animal.

Data records recorded after this day and time are not associated with the animal related to the deployment. Values are typically defined by the data owner, and in some cases are created automatically during data import. Further information can be provided in 'deployment end type' and 'deployment end comments'. example: 2009-10-01 12:00:00.000 format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS units: UTC or GPS time entity described: deployment same as: deploy off date URI: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB/current/MVB000077 deploy on timestamp: The timestamp when the tag deployment started. Data records recorded before this day and time are not associated with the animal related to the deployment. Values are typically defined by the data owner, and in some cases are created automatically during data import. example: 2008-08-30 18:00:00.000 format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS units: UTC or GPS time entity described: deployment same as: deploy on date URI: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB/current/MVB000081 deployment ID: A unique identifier for the deployment of a tag on animal, provided by the data owner. If the data owner does not provide a Deployment ID, an internal Movebank deployment identifier may sometimes be shown. example: Jane-Tag42 units: none entity described: deployment URI: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB/current/MVB000085 external temperature: The temperature measured by the tag (different from ambient temperature or internal body temperature of the animal). example: 32.1 units: degrees Celsius entity described: event same as: temperature external URI: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB/current/MVB000104 event ID: An identifier for the set of values associated with each event, i.e. sensor measurement. A unique event ID is assigned to every time-location or other time-measurement record in Movebank. If multiple measurements are included within a single row of a data file, they will share an event ID. If users import the same sensor measurement to Movebank multiple times, a separate event ID will be assigned to each. example: 6340565 units: none entity described: event URI: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/MVB/current/MVB000103 GPS fix type: The type of GPS fix. To import non-numeric characters use 'GPS fix type raw'.
