Geoscience Australia conducted field surveys in Jervis Bay, New South Wales, to collect co-located physical and biological data for researching biodiversity surrogates in soft-sediment habitats. Outputs include high-resolution multibeam acoustic datasets, underwater video footage for habitat characterisation, and seabed sediment and infauna samples. A progress report on this work was presented at the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub's Annual Science Workshop in October 2008.
Phytoplankton abundance data from the Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder survey, a joint project by CSIRO and the Australian Antarctic Division. The dataset supports mapping biodiversity, establishing a long-term plankton baseline, and detecting harmful algal blooms in Australian waters.
A 2017 study presents a surrogacy framework to estimate habitat potential for marine megafauna and infauna across 753 known submarine canyons along the Australian continental margin. The methodology uses 22 environmental and ecological variables to assess geomorphic and oceanographic heterogeneity. The framework was developed by Geoscience Australia and presented at the Australian Marine Science Association Conference.
Australian waters are monitored by the Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder (AusCPR) survey, a joint project of CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere and the Australian Antarctic Division. The dataset provides a long-term baseline of plankton biodiversity and distribution to document changes in response to climate change and support fisheries management. Zooplankton is counted off the sampling silk using a Bogorov tray for more accurate identification and analysis.
Public servant records for staff officials of the municipal administration of Andalucía, Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The dataset includes basic personnel information such as name, position, department, and date of admission. It was published via the Colombian open data portal www.datos.gov.co and was last updated on 2026-05-18.
A 75-meter resolution geospatial dataset assessing the condition of native vegetation in Victoria, Australia, for 2017. The dataset, published by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, aims to reflect vegetation composition, structure, and function through measures of lifeforms, cover, and species diversity. It replaces the previous NVR2013_COND_V2 and _V2A versions.
Modeled top cover estimates for 7 plant functional types across Arctic and Boreal Alaska and Yukon at 5-year intervals from 1985 to 2020. The dataset includes root mean square error and source year information, produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Estimates were derived from stochastic gradient-boosting models using environmental and Landsat spectral covariates from 1984-2020.
A 2014/15 pilot study collected baited remote underwater stereo video (BRUV) footage to inventory demersal fish distribution and abundance in the Tasman Fracture Commonwealth Marine Reserve and adjacent reference sites. The data includes scored metrics such as fish abundance and lengths from the footage. This work was part of the National Marine Biodiversity Hub's monitoring theme, contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Ana Setyastuti's study on figshare investigates sea cucumber fishing governance in Indonesia. It identifies 31 fishing areas, 56 harvested species, and export trends from 2012 to 2021, exploring management strategies like catch quotas and customary law. The dataset is a 427.1 KB PDF file last updated in April 2026.
21,260 globally representative Streptococcus pneumoniae genomes analyzed with the Pneumo-Typer pipeline for capsule genotype (CapGT) nomenclature and serotype prediction. The dataset, created by xiangyang Li, provides a framework for investigating cps locus evolution and variation. It was last updated in April 2026.
A 2026 study by Shou-Fu Zhang investigates the toxicological effects of erythromycin on the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum. The dataset likely contains experimental results on algal growth, photosynthetic pigments, oxidative stress markers, lipid redistribution, and transcriptomic pathway changes. The data is shared as a 1.2 MB DOCX file under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Seafloor geomorphology and habitat data for the shallow coastal waters of Antarctica's Vestfold Hills. The dataset likely contains high-resolution multibeam and satellite-derived bathymetry used to map benthic communities and assess vulnerability to sea ice changes. It was presented at the 2023 POLAR 2018 conference and published by Geoscience Australia.
Leandro Padilla authored a review on the biomass of Quillaja saponaria, a source of triterpenic saponins like QS-21 used in FDA-approved vaccines. The document critically evaluates production technologies against a benchmark of 50 kg per year, corresponding to at least one billion vaccine doses. It was uploaded to figshare on 2026-04-17 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
25,600 km² of submerged bank area in the Great Barrier Reef, with a mean depth of around 27 m, is identified as potential deep reef habitat. Predictive modelling indicates more than half (around 14,000 km²) is suitable for coral communities. The data was published in a 2013 study by Harris et al. and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
A supplementary document details a study on the physiological and metabolic mechanisms of exogenous quercetin in the cadmium hyperaccumulator Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. The research, authored by Yang Zhou and last updated in April 2026, involved applying quercetin at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, and 20 mg·L⁻¹ under varying cadmium levels (0, 4, 20 mg·kg⁻¹). Results include specific measurements such as a 49.5% reduction in electrolyte leakage and a 17.7% increase in chlorophyll content under optimal treatment.
140 sites were surveyed using towed camera systems in Nova Scotia and Southwest New Brunswick between 2022 and 2023. The dataset contains images and derived percent cover data for kelps, fucoids, and other macroalgae, collected along deep (7-12m) and shallow (3-5m) depth contours. Data collection occurred from July to October, with depths corrected to chart datum using tide predictions.
Przeslawski, Glasby, and Nichol's 2019 study provides a species-level inventory of polychaete worms from the Oceanic Shoals Australian Marine Park. The dataset includes 2,561 individual polychaetes from 266 sediment samples, representing 368 species and 43 families. It was collected during four marine surveys between 2009 and 2012 to establish baseline biodiversity data for marine management.
A 45.6 KB audio recording by Marie-Annick Moreau, last updated on June 3, 2026. The file captures a moment of communal fishing, with Nyamatako shouting and women singing 'Ng'ongole' as they haul up a net. The data is shared under a CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license on figshare.
29.0 KB of audio data captures a moment of communal fishing activity. The recording features Nyamatako shouting and women singing 'Ng'ongole' while hauling up a net. Authored by Marie-Annick Moreau, this cultural performance was last updated on 2026-06-03.
A 33.5 KB audio file containing a song performed by women while fishing. The song, titled 'Mapendo', is a prayer for protection from the elders or guardian spirits of the pond. It was uploaded by Marie-Annick Moreau to figshare and last updated on June 3, 2026.
