Environment Agency data classifies Acid Neutralizing Capacity (ANC) in lakes as High, Good, or Moderate. This retired dataset is a subset of the WFD Classification Status Cycle 2, focusing on a key physicochemical quality element. ANC is calculated using alkalinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH, with classification based purely on available chemical data.
A subset of the WFD Classification Status Cycle 2 dataset from the UK Environment Agency. It details water bodies initially classified at High Ecological Status that were downgraded to Good Status due to the presence of Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS). The dataset applies specific criteria for downgrading, including recent records and species from a defined high-impact list.
Environment Agency data classifies river water bodies in the United Kingdom for dissolved oxygen (DO) into categories of High, Good, Moderate, Poor, and Bad. The classification is based on spot sampling monitoring data assessed against environmental quality standards derived from site typology. This dataset is part of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) Cycle 2 classification for ecological status and has been retired, superseded by a newer record.
Freshwater invertebrate communities from stream sites within the SAFE Project experimental area in Malaysian Borneo, including the Maliau Basin and Danum Valley. The dataset was collected by Sarah H. Luke of the University of Cambridge as part of a project funded by multiple organizations including the Sime Darby Foundation and NERC. It contains abundance data for specific taxa like Chironomids, sampled using Surber samplers along 200-meter transects.
A synthetic ground-truth dataset modeling long-term extracellular tetrode recordings from the rodent brain over 256 hours. It comprises spiking activity for 8 distinct single-units with drifting amplitudes, created by Ashesh K. Dhawale of Harvard University to test spike-sorting algorithms. The dataset includes spike times, waveform snippets, and simulation parameters.
Data from the SAFE research project in Sabah, Malaysia, investigating the impact of vertebrate removal on invertebrate communities and ecosystem processes. The dataset contains 144 rows of aboveground invertebrate counts from exclusion and control plots, collected during three visits in 2019. It was authored by Emma Mackintosh of Imperial College London.
Visual surveys of invertebrates to ordinal level, including counts of individuals killed by Cordyceps fungus, collected inside and outside experimental vertebrate exclusion cages. The dataset was created by Robert M. Ewers of Imperial College London as part of the SAFE research project on logging intensity in Sabah, Borneo. It contains 38 rows of data across 54 fields.
Borneo hosts a dataset from 24 sites measuring bird community richness, predation rates on dummy caterpillars, and herbivory rates across a forest quality gradient. The data was collected by Adam Fraser from Imperial College London as part of the SAFE research project to investigate tritrophic cascades. It includes measurements from caged and control plots to assess the impact of vertebrate exclusion.
Quality-controlled acoustic detections of tagged marine animals collected by the Integrated Marine Observing System's Animal Tracking Facility since 2007. The dataset includes observations from a permanent continental receiver array and independent research projects, covering fish, sharks, rays, reptiles, and mammals. Data is updated every six months and has been documented in a Scientific Data publication.
The Traits of Plants in Canada (TOPIC) open access empirical measurements module provides a dataset of direct observations collected in the field, laboratory, greenhouse, or garden. It serves as a hub for centralizing knowledge on plant functional traits in Canada, integrating data from disconnected scientific sources to facilitate research on plant and forest ecology. The dataset is managed by the Canadian Trait Network and was last updated on 2026-07-02.
DFO's Maritimes Region program pairs environmental DNA (eDNA) samples with trawl catch data to monitor biodiversity in Canadian marine conservation areas. The data supports the goal of establishing a network of Marine Conservation Areas covering 30% of Canada's EEZ by 2030. The dataset includes information from 8 Marine Refuges, 3 Marine Protected Areas, and 2 Areas of Interest on the Scotian Shelf and Bay of Fundy.
A 2026 dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network maps seamounts and elevated seabed features within and near the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone. It was created by cross-referencing multiple data sources, including the GEBCO 2023 global terrain model and high-resolution bathymetry from the AusSeabed portal, to improve upon previous coarse inventories. The work supports the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub Project 2.3, aiming to enhance broad-scale ecological modelling.
A study examining the biogeographic range of hard corals in Western Australia to guide laboratory experiments on dredging impacts. The data is based on a collection compiled over 60 years from the Western Australian Museum and other taxonomic surveys, with recent updates including molecular phylogenetic studies. The dataset compares species distributions with the central Great Barrier Reef for experimental relevance.
308 species of marine flora documented from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, based on collections held in the Western Australian Herbarium and biodiversity survey reports. The dataset includes 12 species of seagrasses, 18 mangroves, and 278 marine algae, with the algae collection being more recent and incomplete. Parks Australia provides this record to highlight research relevant to Australian Marine Parks.
The Rottnest Shelf HF ocean radar system measures surface currents and calculates wind direction and significant wave height in a region off Western Australia. The system consists of two WERA phased array radars operating at 8.512 MHz with a maximum range of 200 km, covering an area that includes Rottnest Island and the Perth Canyon. Data is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
A 2024-2026 project by the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub aims to develop an Integrated Pest Management framework for controlling feral pigs in northern Australia's coastal wetlands. The project will produce spatial case study data, aerial survey imagery, and a final technical report with policy recommendations. Outputs are managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
The Rottnest Shelf HF ocean radar system monitors a region with the highest marine biodiversity in Western Australia, including the Perth Canyon and whale aggregations. Data from two 16-element phased array radars operating at 8.512 MHz provide surface current measurements, wind direction, and significant wave height calculations over a maximum range of 200 km. This delayed-mode wave dataset is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
The Rottnest Shelf HF ocean radar system operates at 8.512 MHz with a maximum range of 200 km, covering an area including Rottnest Island and the Perth Canyon. Data from the WERA phased array system, managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, includes surface currents and can be used to calculate wind directions and significant wave height. The dataset was last updated on 2026-07-10.
214 fish species were counted along permanent transects on 46 reefs of the Great Barrier Reef between 1993 and 2008. The dataset, produced by the Australian Institute of Marine Science Long Term Monitoring Program, includes annual visual census data and spatial interpolations mapping species richness and abundance. Survey patterns changed in 2006 to assess the effects of a new marine park zoning plan.
Southern Australia's gulf and shelf ecosystems host a study of predator-prey dynamics among five shark species. Parks Australia provides data from 417 shark stomachs collected from fishery catches between 2007 and 2011, including bronze whalers, shortfin makos, dusky sharks, smooth hammerheads, and common threshers. Findings discuss dietary diversity, overlap, and specialization to improve ecological models for the region.
