Geoscience Australia Data provides a formal comment on the 2009 study by Williams et al. regarding the use of geomorphic features as surrogates for benthic biodiversity in Australia's southeast marine region. The comment critiques the study's reporting of MPA design criteria and terminology, while supporting the evaluation of abiotic surrogates. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04-20.
19.2 KB of original data and MATLAB code from a study on recreational vehicle camps. The work by Xiumei XU, uploaded to figshare in 2026, likely contains data supporting evolutionary game theory models for value transfer and sharing strategies.
An integrated analysis of biological and geoscientific data from a 48 km2 survey area in the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica, identifies seafloor habitats. High-resolution bathymetry and backscatter maps were produced using a multibeam echosounder, complemented by epibenthic community data from towed underwater video. This research by the Australian Ocean Data Network provides a spatial framework for environmental management and a baseline for assessing change.
Historical and contemporary ensemble species distribution models for the Southern Squatter Pigeon (Geophaps scripta scripta) in eastern Australia. The dataset estimates a historical habitat extent of approximately 688,000 km² and a contemporary extent of approximately 359,500 km², representing an approximate 48% decline. It evaluates the influence of environmental variables and threatening processes, identifying red fox density as the primary negative predictor of the bird's relative likelihood of occurrence.
Table S2 presents apatite U-Pb geochronology and concentration data. The dataset, authored by L.A. Solari, is a 105.7 KB XLSX file last updated on May 22, 2026. It supports research on the protracted geological history of the Esperanza granitoids in southern Mexico during the Rheic Ocean's evolution.
A research dataset from Beijing University of Chemical Technology details metabolic engineering experiments for squalene production. The data likely contains measurements from engineered Yarrowia lipolytica strains, including squalene titers, metabolic byproduct levels, and fermentation conditions. It was authored by Huan Liu and shared via the paperswithcode platform.
A case study from northern Australia demonstrates a methodology for quantifying uncertainties in marine habitat mapping. The study calculates and maps uncertainties from extrapolating bio-physical associations, interpolating physical data, and applying cluster analysis. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-04-10.
November 2020 backscatter data for the Arafura Marine Park, collected by Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science. The dataset consists of two 32-bit geotiff mosaic files covering the Money Shoal and Pillar Bank areas, produced from processed multibeam sonar data. This survey was funded to build baseline information for benthic habitats to support a 10-year marine park management plan.
Over a hundred stations were sampled across three years using grabs and a dredge to target epibenthic and endobenthic species. The data includes taxonomic identifications from collected samples and images, along with station metadata such as sampling date, depth, and geographic coordinates. A camera sled collected 3,008 x 2,000 pixel images every 10 seconds during 2006 and 2007 transects.
Northwest Atlantic biodiversity data from 54 paired sampling sites compares environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding using four genetic markers with traditional groundfish trawl surveys. The study detected 42 of 66 fish species captured by trawling via eDNA, along with 26 additional fish species, and 17 of 72 invertebrate species via the CO1 marker, plus 98 additional invertebrate species. Data was published in August 2024 by Fisheries and Oceans Canada to support marine conservation monitoring.
Australia's continental margin contains numerous submarine canyons. This dataset describes a methodology to derive estimates of potential habitat condition for pelagic and epibenthic megafauna and benthic infauna in all of Australia's known submarine canyons. The framework was published in Progress in Oceanography in 2018.
A dataset supporting research on the relationship between plant diversity and soil carbon dynamics. The data was authored by XIN WANG and published on figshare in May 2026. The dataset is 65.7 KB in size and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada's survey documents 220 observations for 27 different sponge taxa from 54 dives at 42 sites in Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore Islands. The dataset includes water quality, species counts, habitat, slope, and substrate characteristics collected in summer 2021 and 2022. It contains three new records for Canada and four species potentially new to science.
Several thousand references to marine and oceanographic datasets are aggregated by the Dutch National Oceanographic Data Committee. The data is managed in a distributed way by NODC members and accessed via a harmonized Common Data Index interface. This collection represents aggregated metadata records from government and research institutes in the Netherlands.
More than 8000 restriction-site associated DNA sequencing-derived single nucleotide polymorphisms and 8 microsatellites were used to examine genomic connectivity among horse mussel populations. The analysis of over 8000 SNPs and microsatellites found less than 1% of genetic variation between sampling locations, indicating high connectivity and minimal genomic divergence across the Northwest Atlantic. The data was published by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in May 2025.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada provides a dataset of sea turtle detection events, including sightings, strandings, and entanglements. It covers Leatherback, Loggerhead, and Green Turtles in waters near Newfoundland and Labrador from 1946 to 2023. The data is primarily from opportunistic reports, with some systematic aerial surveys enabling habitat modeling.
The dataset examines reproductive dynamics of Zostera marina (eelgrass) at six sites on Canada's Atlantic coast, categorized as wave-protected or wave-exposed. It includes site-specific metrics such as reproductive shoot density, seed production, seed retention, and seedling recruitment, with observed sexual reproductive effort ranging from 0.5% to 33.7%.
2011 to 2023 data from the Bay of Fundy Inshore Scallop Survey, collected annually from June to mid-August. It contains individual scallop records with wet meat weight measured to a tenth of a gram and shell height in millimeters. The data was collected by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and corresponds to a 2025 scientific publication.
Surveys from 2016 to 2026 collected sampling effort, catch records, biological data, and water quality data for elasmobranchs in northern Australian rivers, estuaries, and coasts. The data was gathered under the NERP and NESP Marine Biodiversity Hub projects using gillnets and rod-and-line in the Top End and Kimberley regions. Selected animals were tagged for acoustic telemetry, and tissue samples were taken for molecular analyses.
High-resolution multibeam data and bathymetry derived from multispectral satellite imagery cover the Vestfold Hills region in Antarctica. This seafloor information provides a physical framework for understanding benthic habitats and identifying potential areas for macroalgae communities. The dataset was presented at the 2023 POLAR 2018 conference and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
