ARRIVALS_A

Each row represents an interval during which a single chimpanzee was present at the feeding station.

Females should not be assigned the swelling code reserved for males (and individuals of unknown sex). The system will generate a warning if the n/a code is assigned to a female, an individual with a BIOGRAPHY_DATA.Sex value of F.

Males (and individuals of unknown sex) should always be assigned the swelling code reserved for them. The system will generate a warning if any code other than the n/a code is assigned to an individual who is not a female, an individual with a BIOGRAPHY_DATA.Sex value that is not F.

The system will generate a warning when females that are not adolescent are assigned a code that indicates an adolescent swelling. This means that, except for the unknown female individuals, those with a BIOGRAPHY_DATA.AnimID of MGF, or MGF2, or MGF3, the system will generate a warning if the U code is assigned to a female less than 5 years old or more than 14 years old.

The system will generate a warning if females that are not yet adolescent, or so old that menopause is almost assured, are assigned codes that indicate adult female swelling. Except for the unknown female individuals, those with a BIOGRAPHY_DATA.AnimID of MGF, or MGF2, or MGF3, the system will generate a warning if a code that is not one of n/a, U, 0, and MISS is assigned to a female that is at least 8 years old and less than or equal to 60 years old.

The Recorder value may not be the same as the Observer2 value.

EID (Event ID)

The EVENTS.EID identifying the feeding station arrival event that is related to the arrival and departure. A unique, automatically generated, positive integer which serves to identify the row. The value of this column cannot be changed. The related event contains information on arrival and departure times.

This column may not be NULL.

Seq (Sequence)

An integer indicating the order in which an individual arrived, in the sequence of arrivals of a given individual, in a given feeding station attendance event. This means the order of the arrival, per individual, per day.

This column records the ordering of the arrivals of a single individual, within a given given day, at the feeding station.

The values should start with 1 and increase without gaps, each successive arrival of an individual incrementing by one the value of the previous arrival. The system will generate a warning, per condition, if either of these 2 conditions are not met.

This column may not be NULL.

Swelling

A code indicating the degree of the individual’s sexual swelling. A CYCLE_STATES.Code value. This column may not be NULL.

An integer, the number of bananas that were given to the individual. This value must be a positive number, less than or equal to 12.

This column may be NULL when there is no record of whether or not bananas were given.

ArrivalDegree

The direction from which the individual arrived, on a 360 degree circle with 0 being north. The value of this column must be an integer between 0 and 359, inclusive.

This column may be NULL when there is no record of the direction from which the individual arrived.

DepartureDegree

The direction toward which the individual traveled when they departed, on a 360 degree circle with 0 being north. The value of this column must be an integer between 0 and 359, inclusive.

This column may be NULL when there is no record of the direction toward which the individual traveled when they departed.

Recorder

The observer who recorded the arrivals_a record. A PEOPLE.Person value. This column may not be NULL.
