The TGB Osborn Vegetation Reserve in Koonamore, Australia, contains a collection of annual photographs and observations from fixed photopoints, spanning from 1926 to 2024. University of Adelaide staff and students captured these images, which include annotations on visible species, plant counts, and occasional measurements of canopy diameter and height. This version 2.1 release updates date formats and clarifies data anomalies.
1967 to ongoing harmonized seagrass observations from across Australia's coastal waters. The data product aggregates and standardizes disparate datasets from multiple institutions, including IMAS, TropWATER, and state government agencies. It records presence and absence for 13 seagrass species, with data collected via field surveys, remote sensing, and aerial photography.
Dwayne Tally's dataset contains reduced comparative genomics outputs for analyzing chromosome evolution in Coleoptera. The 168.2 MB collection includes GENESPACE synteny outputs, OrthoFinder orthogroup assignments, and gene subset datasets for ancestral X-linked and neo-X-linked gene analyses. It was last updated on May 12, 2026.
168 standardized quadrats across 56 sectors in the Brejões Cave System revealed 123 terrestrial invertebrate species, including 23 obligate cave dwellers. Researcher Gabriel Vaz published this dataset in 2026 alongside manuscripts analyzing niche and neutral processes in community assembly. The data includes R scripts for analysis and is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
An 8-year period from March 1997 to February 2005 of modeled combined-flow bed shear stress data for the entire Australian continental shelf. The dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network quantifies seabed exposure using three regionalization methods based on magnitude and frequency of stress events. It relates these exposure levels to physical sediment properties and water depth.
Surficial sediments, video, multibeam sonar data, cores and shallow seismics were collected from the Recherche Archipelago in south-western Australia. The dataset likely contains information on sediment thickness, composition, and seabed morphology to study Quaternary shelf evolution. The data was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-04-16.
A 2020 study published in Marine Geology analyzes gully morphology and seafloor ecosystems on the Sabrina continental slope in East Antarctica. The dataset likely contains geospatial data on gully shapes, slope angles, and sedimentation processes. It was contributed by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
The PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP) is a Herschel guaranteed time deep extragalactic survey targeting six blank fields, ten lensing clusters, and two z~1 clusters. It includes SPIRE observations at 250, 350, and 500 microns for the two clusters, with catalogs listing sources above a 3 sigma signal-to-noise threshold. The data was produced by NASA and last updated in March 2026.
The Cores to Disks (C2D) Spitzer Legacy Program observed sources spanning the evolutionary sequence from molecular cores to protoplanetary disks. This catalog lists candidate young stellar objects (YSOs) in five nearby large molecular clouds: Chamaeleon II, Lupus, Ophiuchus, Perseus, and Serpens. It was produced by NASA and last updated on 2026-03-13.
Chemical diversity in south-eastern Australian saline lake waters influences ostracod species composition. Ostracod occurrences are reported as physiologically important ionic ratios set in a marine-meteoric framework, with chemical boundaries determined by mixing and evaporation models. The dataset likely contains records linking specific geochemical pathways to the presence of halophilous ostracods.
A study in Esperance Bay, part of the Recherche Archipelago, examined relationships between seabed geomorphology and benthic habitat distribution. The research used multibeam sonar, underwater video, predicted wave energy, and sediment data from a shallow (<50 m), high-energy, temperate environment. Results indicate wave exposure is a key predictor for rhodolith and seagrass habitats, while rhodolith beds are associated with poorly sorted sediments high in gravel, mud, and CaCO3.
Spitzer's C2D Legacy Program observed sources from molecular cores to protoplanetary disks using three instruments. The Candidate YSO OFF-CLOUD Catalog lists candidate young stellar objects in five nearby large molecular clouds, derived from the Full Catalog using a published methodology. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-13 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Australia's offshore renewable energy inventory provides data and standards for five proposed and declared development areas: Hunter, Gippsland and Bass Strait, Illawarra, Southern Ocean, and south-west Western Australia. The inventory, established by a National Environmental Science Program project, details potential impacts, monitoring standards, cultural values, seabed habitats, and species distribution. It is available to government, proponents, and researchers to support regulatory decision-making.
A flythrough video visualizes the bathymetry and benthic habitats of the Carnarvon shelf near Point Cloates. The bathymetric data was collected in 2008 using a 300 kHz Simrad EM3002 multibeam sonar system aboard the RV Solander. The dataset was produced through a collaboration between Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science for the Marine Biodiversity Research Hub.
From 2013 to 2018, NASA's Western Diversity Time Series project collected airborne AVIRIS-Classic imagery over California and Nevada. The dataset holds maps of 14 foliar functional traits, including nitrogen, lignin, and chlorophyll, derived from surface reflectance products using partial least squares regression models. These data are provided in cloud-optimized GeoTIFF and ENVI formats to enable multi-temporal analyses of plant traits and biodiversity at the ecoregion scale.
The ECOsystem Spaceborne Thermal Radiometer Experiment on Space Station (ECOSTRESS) mission measures plant temperature to understand water needs and stress responses. It collects data globally between 52 degrees N and 52 degrees S from the International Space Station, providing at-sensor calibrated radiance for five thermal infrared bands and digital numbers for a shortwave infrared band. The data product is provided as swath data without geolocation, requiring a separate file for georeferencing.
Nicholas P. McCurtin published this dataset on figshare in 2026. It contains results from in vitro assays and chemoproteomic profiling exploring the substrate profile of the bacterial virulence factor OspF, a phosphothreonine lyase secreted during Shigella flexneri infection. The data likely includes identified protein targets beyond the MAPK family, such as Rab1A and casein kinase 2β.
A dataset profiling the substrate selectivity of the Shigella flexneri virulence factor OspF, a phosphothreonine lyase. The data was generated by Nicholas P. McCurtin using in vitro assays and chemoproteomic profiling, and was last updated on April 22, 2026. The dataset is 510.7 KB in size and is stored in an XLSX file.
A 229-sample calibration dataset from 28 temperate lakes provides the first direct comparison of lake-depth transfer functions based on testate amoebae species versus their physical traits. Taxonomy-based reconstructions captured latitudinal climate signals, while morphotrait-based reconstructions responded to local depth and trophic status independent of latitude. Both models performed well in littoral and metalimnetic zones but failed in profundal zones where environmental gradients weaken.
A catalog of sources detected at 350 microns from the PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP) survey using the Herschel Space Telescope. The catalog includes sources above a 3 sigma signal-to-noise threshold, extracted via PSF-fitting from observations targeting blank fields, lensing clusters, and high-redshift clusters. The data was released by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated in March 2026.
