Fisheries and Oceans Canada issues licences under Section 56 of the Fishery (General) Regulations for the intentional release and transfer of live aquatic organisms. The federal-provincial Introductions and Transfers Committee reviews applications to assess risks for disease, ecological, and genetic effects. This dataset likely contains records of transfers to and from aquaculture facilities in British Columbia, regulated to minimize impacts on native species and habitats.
A list of predictor variables selected for a species distribution model targeting the genus Aphaniops. The dataset is a 9.5 KB Excel file authored by Aziza S. Al Adhoobi and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on 2026-05-29.
British Columbia's dataset delineates areas where licensed trappers are permitted to trap fur-bearing animals under the BC Wildlife Act. The data is provided by the Government of British Columbia and was last updated in May 2026. It is available in geospatial formats including WMS and KML.
Fragmentary remains of Devonian fishes from the Knobby Sandstone formation in the eastern Canning Basin. The fauna includes a new species of the antiarch Bothriolepis, other placoderm fragments, and rhipidistian teeth and scales, preserved as moulds in coarse sandstone. The data was published by Geoscience Australia and last updated on 2026-05-14.
Xiaofang Xie's dataset from 2026 contains genomic data for mapping genes controlling fruit length in eggplant (Solanum melongena). It includes files in GFF3, CDS, and PEP formats totaling 85.2 MB, derived from a cross between the Yanzhiqie cultivar and a wild relative, S. incanum. The data was generated using genome sequencing, map-based cloning, and gene function validation methods.
A 2.2 MB database associated with research on species mixing in forest plantations. It was authored by Jiahuan Guo and last updated on May 22, 2026. The dataset likely contains measurements related to biomass accumulation and nutrient cycling.
A 5cm pixel resolution RGB aerial mosaic of the City of Melbourne municipal area, captured on February 2nd and 3rd, 2019. The imagery was acquired using an 11-band multispectral camera system from 8,000ft under cloudless conditions. The primary data file is a 6GB georeferenced ECW image.
A 2026 dataset from Geoscience Australia examines the evolution of the Recherche Archipelago inner shelf, a high-energy cool-water carbonate environment. The data includes surficial sediments, video, multibeam sonar, cores, and shallow seismics, revealing Holocene deposits up to 7 meters thick. This research investigates sediment production and accumulation patterns influenced by oceanography and wave abrasion.
South-eastern Australian saline lakes provide data on ostracod species occurrences linked to water ionic composition. The dataset is based on a study exploring the influence of geochemical solute evolution models on species composition. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and was last updated on 2026-04-30.
Sarah Lou Malick-Wahls from DataverseNO Harvested Dataverse produced these data for a study on bumblebee populations. The dataset compares Bombus species richness and abundance on semi-natural grasslands in southeastern Norway under varying sheep grazing intensities, ranging from 0 to 1,680 initially released animals. It was last updated on June 21, 2026.
2561 individual polychaetes were collected from 266 sediment samples in the Oceanic Shoals Australian Marine Park between 2009 and 2012. The inventory includes 368 species and 43 families, with new species, genera, and family records for Australia. This dataset provides baseline biodiversity and ecological data for small macrofauna, published by Przeslawski Rachel, Glasby Christopher J., Nichol Scott in 2019.
38 cases of aggression by animals potentially transmitting rabies are characterized in this dataset from Colombia's epidemiological surveillance system. Records span from January 2020 to October 2022, covering week 41, and include details on the aggressor species, victim demographics, and medical interventions. The data originates from the platform www.datos.gov.co and was last updated in May 2026.
A 2013 study from the Australian Ocean Data Network quantified submerged coral reef habitats in the Great Barrier Reef. It shows 39% of seabed on submerged banks is capped by near-sea-surface reefs (16,110 km²), while 61% (25,600 km²) is submerged at a mean depth of around 27 m. Predictive habitat modelling indicates more than half (around 14,000 km²) of this submerged area is suitable for coral communities.
A biological and sediment survey of Bass Strait conducted by Museum Victoria between 1979 and 1983, supplemented by later Geoscience Australia and Australian Hydrographic Office surveys. The data indicates a particularly diverse fauna with high small-scale variation, where faunal composition shows a poor overall correlation with measured physical factors like longitude and depth. Sediment analysis suggests a high-energy environment with extensive bioerosion contributing to carbonate mud production.
A 2026 study by Geoscience Australia mapped geomorphic features and sedimentary facies in 283 wave- and tide-dominated estuaries and deltas across Australia. The data was used to quantitatively evaluate established evolutionary facies models and reveal new insights about the transition from estuaries to deltas during stable sea level conditions. This is described as the first published example of such data assembled from a large number of systems across an entire continent.
Northern Australian waters were surveyed aboard the RV Solander during four expeditions from 2009 to 2012. Sediment samples were collected, elutriated, and sorted, with all polychaete specimens identified by taxonomists Chris Glasby and Charlotte Watson to species or operational taxonomic unit level. Specimens are housed at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, and the dataset is published with permission from Geoscience Australia.
Geoscience Australia Data provides a dataset on the Sabrina continental slope in East Antarctica. It describes how slope angle variations influence gully morphology through sedimentation and turbidity currents, with associated impacts on seafloor community structure and beta-diversity. The data is associated with a 2020 publication in Marine Geology.
An inventory of environmental and cultural data and best practice monitoring standards for offshore renewable energy development in Australia. The collaborative National Environmental Science Program project compiled this resource to support regulatory decision-making for proposed areas including Hunter, Gippsland, and the Southern Ocean. It details potential impacts, monitoring standards, cultural values, seabed habitats, and species interactions.
Geoscience Australia presents seabed geomorphology maps synthesizing bathymetry, shallow geology, sedimentology, and ecology data. These maps illustrate the distribution and diversity of seabed features, compositions, and processes like sediment dynamics. The data supports the sustainable development of offshore renewable energy by reducing uncertainty and investment risk.
13.5 KB of data from laser microbeam ablation and immunofluorescent staining experiments on rhabditid nematodes, investigating developmental constraints in male tail characters. The dataset was created by Karin Kiontke and last updated on April 28, 2026. It includes analysis of tail tip morphogenesis, genital papilla number, and phasmid position across multiple species.
