Long-term satellite tracking data for 70 whale sharks tagged at four aggregation sites in the Indonesian archipelago from 2015 to 2025. The dataset integrates state-space modeling and MaxEnt habitat suitability analyses to assess movement ecology and critical habitats. It was authored by Mochamad Iqbal Herwata Putra and last updated in April 2026.
64 coastal wetland plots in South Africa contain detailed vegetation species occurrence, percent cover, salinity, and ground temperature data collected in late 2023. Habitat extent maps for salt marsh, submerged aquatic vegetation, and reeds & sedges were created for 84 estuaries using PlanetScope satellite imagery classified with a U-Net algorithm. These data were collected by the NASA-led BioSCape project to support analysis of airborne imaging spectroscopy and LiDAR.
Geoscience Australia Data provides an overview of research on interactions between macro- and microorganisms in marine sediments. The content focuses on plant-microbe-sediment and animal-microbe-sediment dynamics, their impact on benthic communities and sediment geochemistry, and associated conceptual and numeric models. The record was last updated on 2026-04-30.
327.2 KB of data files examine the phylogenetic and functional dissimilarity between native and alien plants. The dataset leverages a unidirectional invasion pathway from the Mediterranean into California for a cross-continental study. Authored by Haichuan Le and last updated in May 2026, it includes data in TRE, TXT, and XLSX formats.
High-resolution acoustic data maps the fine-scale distribution of abalone habitat and urchin barrens on the east coast of Tasmania. The dataset provides a 2021 snapshot of seafloor habitats, including substrate type and kelp coverage, at a 50-centimeter resolution. Data products include bathymetry, substrate classification, derivatives, and water column data, produced by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Hathnora in India's central Narmada Valley is the country's sole archaic hominin site. This dataset documents the optimized extraction and characterization of microbial sedaDNA from vertebrate fossil-bearing Pleistocene sediments at this location. The research, authored by Kruti Mistry and last updated in April 2026, compares eight DNA extraction methods to overcome high humic acid content, yielding DNA suitable for V3-V4 amplicon sequencing.
The Tibetan Plateau hosts field survey data on Sophora moorcroftiana shrubs collected in 2017. The data, gathered using Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS), likely contains measurements of plant height, Crown Projection Area (CPA), elevation, and slope. It was produced by researchers from Nanjing Forestry University to assess natural restoration effects on desertified land.
An 85% reduction in adult aquatic insect emergence to land was observed when fish predation was manipulated in a freshwater food web. The research, led by Jeff S. Wesner of the University of South Dakota, demonstrates how stage-specific predation regulates cross-ecosystem resource flows. Fish had weaker effects on larval aquatic insects, reducing dry mass by 63%.
560.31 Mb chromosome-scale genome assembly for the flesh fly Sarcophaga peregrina, with a contig N50 of 3.84 Mb. Lipin Ren from Central South University led the work, which identified 14,476 protein-coding genes and 45.70% repeat elements. The assembly anchors six pseudochromosomes and provides insights into the species' ovoviviparous reproduction and necrophagous habits.
212 field-collected mosquitoes were analyzed using a new metabarcoding method, revealing almost 60% infection prevalence by at least 11 different microsporidian species. The dataset includes ssu rDNA sequences for 607 microsporidian species and a shortened COI gene fragment for host identification. It was developed by researchers at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań to enable parallel detection of parasite and host.
23 migratory bird species from the IUCN Red List were modeled from 2014-2017 to the mid-21st century (2041-2070). The study by Jie Liang of Hunan University used a Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) model to project habitat suitability changes under RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 scenarios. It found the Pearl River basin lost 13% of suitable habitat and the population centroid moved about 50 km northeast on average.
50-centimeter resolution multibeam acoustic imagery maps the fine-scale distribution of abalone habitat and urchin barrens off Tasmania's east coast. This data provides a snapshot of 2021 seafloor habitats, substrate types, and kelp coverage for Fishing Block 27. The Australian Ocean Data Network published the dataset to assist strategic decision-making for urchin control and abalone management.
395 seabed samples and seven environmental variables underpin a 10-meter resolution raster grid predicting sand content for Darwin and Bynoe Harbour. The model, funded by an INPEX-led LNG project and developed by Geoscience Australia and partners, demonstrates high accuracy with a VEcv of 39% for sand. This dataset supersedes previous predictions with an 84.8% improvement in predictive accuracy for sand content over a common interpolation method.
Geoscience Australia's Darwin Harbour Habitat Mapping Program provides a predicted seabed gravel content grid for the Darwin and Bynoe Harbour regions. The dataset is a 10-meter resolution raster derived from 395 samples and 14 environmental variables collected in surveys between 2011 and 2017. It supersedes previous predictions with a demonstrated improvement in predictive accuracy, achieving a VEcv of 59% for gravel.
1.5 MB of data on Ecological Compensation in China, authored by GuiXia Wang. The dataset is available in PDF, XLS, and XLSX formats and was last updated on 2026-05-28. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
A 2011-2017 compilation of survey data provides a spatially continuous 10-meter resolution grid predicting seabed mud content for the Darwin and Bynoe Harbour region. The dataset was created by Geoscience Australia, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, and the Northern Territory Government's Department of Environment and Natural Resources, funded by an INPEX-led LNG project. Predictions are based on 395 samples and nine environmental variables, with a reported predictive accuracy improvement of 198.3% over a common interpolation method.
Scottish Forestry Grant Scheme boundaries defined for a program active from June 2003 to August 2006. The scheme offered grants at 60% or 90% of Standard Costs for woodland expansion, restocking, and stewardship to provide economic, environmental, and social benefits. This dataset is published by the Government Digital Service via the EU Open Data platform.
Scottish Forestry Grant Scheme (SFGS) data likely contains records of grant applications for woodland creation and management. The scheme was administered by the Scottish Executive and ran from June 2003 to August 2006. It encouraged forestry projects providing economic, environmental, and social benefits.
Darwin Plus-funded project DPLUS0045 provides still image analysis from groundtruthing data for marine resource assessments around Anguilla. The data supports best practice guidance for combining satellite and acoustic surveys to map deeper waters. It aims to build local capacity for comprehensive ecosystem service mapping of Anguilla's 'Blue Belt'.
Quebec's compilation of legally designated protected areas and other effective conservation measures (ECAs). The dataset includes territories defined under the Natural Heritage Conservation Act (LCPN) and IUCN criteria, administered by the Ministry of the Environment, Fight against Climate Change, Wildlife and Parks.
