Australian Ocean Data Network hosts data from an integrated analysis of biological and geoscientific data collected from the nearshore marine environment of the Vestfold Hills. A 48 km² area was surveyed using a multibeam echosounder system and towed underwater video to identify benthic habitats and examine relationships between community composition and environmental characteristics. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-05.
A Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) with data status from 30.06.2024 provides tiled map layers for faster display. It is based on official data from the Digital Landscape Models (DLM), house coordinates, and house surrounds, using a nationwide uniform web signature catalog. The service is provided by the Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie.
Individual records for the total career administrative staff at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, collected semester by semester. The dataset includes demographic, service, and organizational unit information for each employee. It is published by www.datos.gov.co and was last updated on 2026-05-18.
Thomas A. Püschel's dataset contains numerical data used in a study of manual lateralization across 41 anthropoid species (n=2,025 individuals). The data supports phylogenetic comparative analysis and meta-analysis of handedness direction (MHI) and strength (MABSHI). It was last updated on 2026-04 27 and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.
A 39.4 KB Excel file published on figshare in 2026 by Thomas A. Püschel. It contains numerical data used in a study investigating the evolution of manual lateralization across 41 anthropoid primate species, based on a sample of 2,025 individuals. The dataset supports analyses of handedness direction and strength in relation to factors like brain size and bipedalism.
Central Pacific Ocean data on skipjack tuna gut content and microbiome collected during a transitional ENSO period. The dataset, authored by Yufei Zhou and last updated in 2026, is 5.5 KB in size and stored in an XLS file. It aims to evaluate the impacts of the El Niño Southern Oscillation and other environmental factors on marine food webs.
A single quad sensor camera installed at the ALTAR Desert Uplands 1 site provides a near 360° photo record of land management events and a long-term record of vegetation condition and composition. This dense time series of images provides data for analysis of ecological responses to climate variability. The dataset is provided by the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's Data Discovery platform and was last updated on 2026-05-16.
The George V Shelf in East Antarctica provides benthic community data from underwater video footage collected during the 2007/2008 CEAMARC voyage. The dataset analyzes physical and biological characteristics, linking community structure to processes like iceberg scouring and water currents. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
A geospatial dataset defines the area where the Biodiversity Conservation Strategy applies under the Melbourne Strategic Assessment. The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action created this dataset, which was last updated on April 8, 2026. It covers specific investigation areas for urban growth boundary expansion, certain precincts, and transport corridors.
The Wildlife Compensation Program provides financial compensation to agricultural producers for damage caused by specific wildlife species. Compensation is limited to 80% of the value of the agricultural products listed by the Crop and Animal Insurance Commission. The dataset is published by the Government of Nova Scotia and was last updated on April 17, 2026.
Benthic habitat mapping of Moreton Bay, from Comboyuro Point to Jacobs Well. Mapping was conducted as part of the Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program and is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-16.
Australian Ocean Data Network hosts a dataset from a 2017 study applying random forest, GLM, and hybrid geostatistical methods to predict sponge species richness. The research addressed variable and model selection issues to depict non-linear relationships and generate a high-accuracy spatial distribution of sponge species richness. The dataset likely contains predicted richness values and associated environmental predictors for marine areas.
The Australian Ocean Data Network provides a methodology for quantifying uncertainties in marine habitat mapping. The dataset likely contains results from a case study in northern Australia, evaluating uncertainties from extrapolating bio-physical associations and interpolating physical data. It was last updated on 2026-05-05.
Cameron McKenzie's dataset, last updated April 2026, documents an experimental study on epiphyte vertical niche specialization. It includes assessments of the vertical distribution of 35 common epiphyte morphospecies across 30 host trees and the survival rates of individuals transplanted to the understorey. The findings support the vertical niche differentiation hypothesis and inform sustainable horticulture practices.
SE Tasmania coastal and shelf waters were surveyed using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) integrated with ship-based multibeam bathymetry. The AUV captured images and geophysical data across kelp-dominated rocky reefs and deep mid-shelf sediments, improving understanding of benthic habitat distribution. This data was presented at the OCEANS'10 IEEE Sydney Conference and Exhibition in May 2010.
A 2009 comment published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science critiques a study on Australia's deep-water marine reserve network. The comment, authored by Geoscience Australia, discusses the use of geomorphic features as surrogates for benthic biodiversity and evaluates the design of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on Australia's southeast continental margin. It addresses discrepancies in terminology and argues the original study did not explicitly test the hypothesis that seamounts and submarine canyons are biodiversity surrogates.
435.8 KB of habitat data for Lefua echigonia, a loach species endemic to Japan, collected from the Yagawa River. The dataset was used in a study published in Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems. It was authored by Yuki Matsuzawa and last updated on May 20, 2026.
A conceptual surrogacy framework from the Australian Ocean Data Network evaluates habitat potential for marine fauna in all known Australian submarine canyons. The methodology, published in Progress in Oceanography in 2018, uses geomorphic and oceanographic heterogeneity to derive estimates for pelagic, epibenthic, and benthic species. The framework is intended to support spatial prioritization for marine planning and conservation.
August 2003 sediment samples from Sydney Harbour were collected by Geoscience Australia and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation. This data was used to ground-truth multibeam sonar surveys and assess how sediment properties influence acoustic backscatter for benthic habitat classification. The study builds upon existing knowledge of seabed geomorphology in the estuary.
Two 32-bit geotiff backscatter mosaics were collected for the Arafura Marine Park in November 2020. Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science conducted the survey aboard the RV Solander to establish baseline information for benthic habitats. The data supports a 10-year management plan (2018-2028) for the North Marine Park Network.
