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 THIS DATASET: Note "Group M" does not represent an individual but the average location of all individuals of a group of mangabeys sighted during a 30-min scan. See "mangabey-notes.txt" for details. 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: Entries include up to 3 values separated by ":" describing (1) ACT, (2) SPECIES, (3) PART: ACT = activity during scan SPECIES = plant (usually tree) species that is either being eaten or is the substrate for invertebrate foraging. PART = the part of the plant that was being eaten, or if the type of feeding was foraging for invertebrates, the substrate on which it occurred (if ACT = FEED) Keys describing values are in "mangabey-notes.txt" and "mangabey-plants.csv". deployment comments: Additional information about the tag deployment that is not described by other reference data terms. example: This deployment was excluded from analysis because the tag failed. deployment end type: A categorical classification of the tag deployment end. Values are chosen from a controlled list: captured: The tag remained on the animal but the animal was captured or confined. dead: The deployment ended with the death of the animal that was carrying the tag. equipment failure: The tag stopped working. fall off: The attachment of the tag to the animal failed, and it fell of accidentally. other released: The tag remained on the animal but the animal was released from captivity or confinement. removal: The tag was purposefully removed from the animal. unknown: The deployment ended by an unknown cause. event comments: Additional information about individual records or events in a data set that is not described by other reference data terms. example: we observed the animal foraging (see photo BT25) same as: comments THIS DATASET: For "M Group" (see Animal ID above) indicates the number of animals that were located during this scan; group size was 14-16 over the course of the year. 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 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 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. 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 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. barometer: The sensor records air or water pressure. 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. magnetometer: The sensor records the magnetic field. 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). THIS DATASET: Data were collected in the field by human observation using natural markings on individuals. 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 study-specific measurement: Values for a study-specific attribute. example: 1112:01 units: undefined THIS DATASET: Values describe age for event-level individual data. Ages in the reference data file are those at the beginning of the study. See "mangabey-notes.txt" for details. 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 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 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.
