A 2024 project from the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub produced hindcast (2017-18) and forecast habitat suitability maps for the endangered Maugean skate in Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania. The project also generated Close Kin Mark Recapture (CKMR) analysis to estimate historical spawning stock abundance. Outputs include spatial data in PNG format and a final written report.
Observational data from the Kelp Ecosystem Ecology Network (KEEN) protocol, collected via transects on rocky reefs worldwide. The dataset includes site information, fish counts by size class, quadrat and band transect sampling, percent cover of algae and invertebrates, and kelp morphometrics. Data files are provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and were last updated on 2026-06 04.
Eastern Asia is the geographic scope for this dataset of complete chloroplast genomes (cpDNAs) for the Stachyurus genus. Xinhao Liu sequenced and assembled 25 accessions representing seven species and one variety, with genomes ranging from 161,624 to 162,947 base pairs. The data was last updated on 2026-05-18.
Twenty-seven studies on rat models of Achilles tendon rupture were systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed. The data, compiled by Bingbing Li and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license, assesses the efficacy of stem cell transplantation on biomechanical and histological outcomes. The file was last updated on June 1, 2026.
A 1,279-document bibliometric dataset covering research on extrafloral nectaries from 1894 to 2026, compiled by Akash Basnet for a study under review. The dataset was created by merging and deduplicating 2,991 records from Web of Science and Scopus, followed by manual screening. It includes raw exports, a reproducibility script, and logs to support replication of the bibliometric analysis.
Supplementary file 1 from a figshare article by Erica Borg, last updated May 29, 2026, under a CC-BY-4.0 license. The dataset likely contains empirical analysis mapping the global distribution of intellectual property assets derived from marine genetic prospecting. It examines the alignment of this distribution with diplomatic positions during BBNJ Agreement negotiations and the resulting resource-centric framework.
National trends in coral species following heatwaves were quantified by taxonomic experts annotating Reef Life Survey photoquadrats. The project focuses on spatial and species-level responses to the 2016 and 2017 marine heatwave and mass bleaching events across northern Australia. Data outputs are managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, with metadata last updated in June 2026.
1213.16 mg/kg of selenomethionine was the predominant bioselenium composition in the studied yeast. The dataset contains results from a study on selenium-enriched Rhodotorula mucilaginosa JAASRY1, including animal behavior tests, histopathology, protein expression, and 16S rRNA gut microbiome sequencing, authored by Mubai Sun and last updated in June 2026. The 1.9 MB file is a document detailing the experimental methods and findings.
Australian shallow-water reef ecosystems are monitored for threats like pollution, fishing, and rising sea temperatures. The project integrates large datasets from tropical and temperate waters to produce state-of-the-environment indicators. Outputs are intended for the 2016 State of the Environment report and long-term assessment of Commonwealth Marine Reserves.
From 1994 to 2001, taxonomic surveys of hard corals were conducted on 110 reefs (599 transects) of the Great Barrier Reef by the Australian Institute of Marine Science. The dataset contains abundance estimates for each species and visual estimates of benthos group cover, which were later interpolated over the entire reef using Generalized Additive Models. The resulting gridded data is available as KML and ASCII Grid files.
Cleaned catch-per-unit-effort tables and R scripts support a study on fish recovery in the lower Yangtze River. The dataset is based on a 16-year standardized passive-net survey from 2002 to 2017 at a fixed nursery station near Jingjiang City. It includes annual CPUE records for 28 migratory and estuarine-associated fish species.
A 2026 field study by Andrew Osborne compares the horizontal accuracy of smartphone and external GNSS receivers under open sky conditions. The dataset likely contains measurements from static and dynamic survey protocols designed to test performance typical of ecology fieldwork. It includes median horizontal accuracy results ranging from 0.5 to 3.4 meters for the tested devices.
The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts a framework for evaluating the habitat potential of submarine canyons along the Australian continental margin. The methodology uses a conceptual surrogacy approach to derive estimates of potential habitat condition for pelagic and epibenthic megafauna and benthic infauna. The associated dataset likely contains geospatial and environmental variables for all known Australian submarine canyons.
A 2010 study trialed an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to map benthic habitats and biodiversity in coastal and offshore waters of SE Tasmania. The data integrates AUV image capture with ship-based high-resolution multibeam bathymetry, surveying habitats from kelp-dominated rocky reefs to deep mid-shelf reef and sediments. The study was presented at the OCEANS'10 IEEE Sydney Conference and Exhibition.
Twelve impact pathways were used to structure quantitative modelling of offshore renewable energy infrastructure in the Gippsland declared region. The project applied species-specific population models and whole-of-ecosystem modelling to assess cumulative risks to threatened species and marine parks. Outputs include spatial model results and a final report, published by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
A 2017-2018 review assessed the state of knowledge for EPBC-listed Threatened and Migratory marine species across Australia's North Marine Bioregion. The project, by the NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub, considered sharks, rays, shorebirds, turtles, dugongs, and cetaceans, alongside habitats, fisheries bycatch, and Indigenous priorities. Outputs identified key knowledge gaps and research priorities to guide future marine conservation and management across northern Australia.
August 2003 sediment samples collected by Geoscience Australia and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation in Sydney Harbour. The analysis documents the physical character and distribution of sediments to ground-truth multibeam sonar surveys. This work supports the Coastal CRC's Coastal Water Habitat Mapping Project.
32,988 species-level records for 6,841 marine fish species, compiled from 3,201 references to address a mismatch between need and availability of larval dispersal data. The databases cover 35 key pelagic dispersal traits, including swimming speed and vertical position, and include 1,155 unpublished records and 313 newly collected records from fieldwork in the Maldives and Guadeloupe. Eliot RUIZ compiled the data, last updated in May 2026, to enable robust fitting of probability density functions for Lagrangian models and to forecast global warming impacts on dispersal.
Over 13 million flora and fauna observation records are maintained by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage. Records include plants, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and some fungi, invertebrates, and fish, sourced from incidental sightings and systematic surveys. The data collection covers all areas of New South Wales and includes some records from neighboring states.
Australian marine data predicting sponge species richness using environmental variables. The dataset was created by researchers including Jin Li and Belinda Alvarez, applying random forest, generalized linear models, and hybrid geostatistical techniques. It was published in 2017 and models non-linear relationships to generate high-accuracy spatial distributions of sponge richness.
