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 deploy off timestamp: The timestamp when the tag deployment ended. example: 2009-10-01 12:00:00.000 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 same as: deploy off date deploy on timestamp: The timestamp when the tag deployment started. example: 2008-08-30 18:00:00.000 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 same as: deploy on date 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. duty cycle: Remarks associated with the duty cycle of a tag during the deployment, describing the times it is on/off and the frequency at which it transmits or records data. example: it turns off during the night units: Any units should be defined in the remarks. 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 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 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 location accuracy comments: Comments about the location error estimate values provided using location error text and/or location error numerical. The percentile uncertainty can be provided using location error percentile. example: 1 standard deviation errors, assuming normal distribution, provided by the GPS unit 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 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 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 model: The model of the tag. example: T61 same as: model 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.
