A reanalysis of common-garden experiment data tests whether fermentative capacity in Crabtree-positive yeasts arose from a single evolutionary event or multiple small rearrangements. Roberto F. Nespolo from the Austral University of Chile applied the lasso-OU algorithm to proxies like glycerol production and ethanol yield. The analysis suggests a whole-genomic duplication event was the key evolutionary innovation for exploiting sugar-rich niches.
Carbon stable isotope data for the queen scallop (Aequipecten opercularis) across the north-eastern Atlantic, used to model environmental correlates of isotopic baselines. The dataset includes catch data, isotope analysis, environmental variables, and positional data, aggregated by the Government Digital Service. The temporal coverage and total number of rows are not specified.
Research from Freie Universität Berlin investigates the role of cytokinin hormones in protecting Arabidopsis plants from photoperiod stress. The study analyzes mutants and measures stress markers, gene expression, and hormone concentrations. The dataset likely contains experimental results supporting the finding that root-derived trans-zeatin cytokinin acts as a negative regulator of this stress syndrome.
A dataset comparing fungal community structures derived from soil metabarcoding using four different sequencing technologies. The data was generated by Brendan Furneaux of Uppsala University to investigate methodological challenges in taxonomic and phylogenetic placement. It includes results from short-read Illumina MiSeq, Ion Torrent Ion S5, and PacBio RS II sequencing, as well as long-read PacBio RS II sequencing of full ITS and partial LSU regions.
A preclinical study from Chang Gung University investigates the anti-inflammatory effects of the natural compound Bletinib. The research evaluates its impact on human neutrophil functions and its therapeutic potential in a murine model of lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury. The dataset likely contains experimental results from flow cytometry, spectrophotometry, immunofluorescence microscopy, and immunoblotting.
Jan Ko from the University of Ostrava published an open-access dataset analyzing the exome sequences and fitness-related phenotypic traits of sexually-reproducing fish species and their clonal hybrids. The dataset includes clones with evolutionary ages ranging from F1 generations to 300,000 years. It was used to test hypotheses about mutation accumulation and fitness degradation in asexual lineages.
A transcriptomic analysis of aphid salivary glands comparing Serratia-infected and Serratia-free aphids. The dataset likely contains gene expression data from the study by Qinyang Wang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It includes measurements related to plant defense responses, such as ROS accumulation and calcium ion elevation.
K. S. Karthika of the Coffee Research Institute assessed soil quality changes after converting natural forests to coffee plantations in the Western Ghats of India. The study analyzed 60 sites across Chikmagalur, Wayanad, and Idukki districts, comparing soil properties like organic carbon, pH, and nutrient availability. It reports soil organic carbon stocks ranging from 14.32 to 19.28 kg m-2 in coffee systems.
Daniel De Vega from the James Hutton Institute conducted transcriptomic analysis of tomato plants treated with the elicitor chitosan to study defense priming against the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea. The work identified two novel tomato genes, Avr9/Cf-9 rapidly-elicited protein 75 (ACRE75) and 180 (ACRE180), as positive regulators of resistance. This dataset likely contains gene expression profiles from large-scale transcriptomic analysis at early time-points after infection.
Experimental data from East China Normal University investigates the motion patterns of the marine raphid diatom Navicula arenaria var. rostellata in two-dimensional space. The dataset likely contains records of individual cell movements, including 'circular run-and-reversal' behaviors, across different concentrations of dissolved silicic acid (dSi). The data supports a universal Langevin model and analysis consistent with an optimal foraging strategy.
Three genes from Lavandula angustifolia—LaTPS7, LaTPS8, and LaCYP71D582—were cloned and characterized for their role in producing defense-related volatiles during early plant development. In-vitro assays identified specific compounds produced, including camphene, myrcene, limonene, α-pinene, and sylvestrene. The research, led by Ling Zheng at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, demonstrates how these volatiles repel aphids and attract ladybugs, suggesting agricultural applications for reducing insecticide use.
Raw research data on the bifunctionality of carbon nanodots derived from galangal. The data likely contains measurements related to their application as sensors for metal ions and as a nutrient source for peanut plant growth. Author Zakarias Seba Ngara published the 1.8 MB dataset under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.
Lower Cretaceous sediments from the Katherine and Fergusson River 1:250,000 sheets were examined during the 1960 and 1961 field seasons. The data includes thirteen fossil assemblages, nine marine and four plant-based, ranging from Neocomian to uppermost Albian age. Field observations on lithology and paleogeography were summarized by Geoscience Australia.
Geoscience Australia Data derived seascapes for the Australian margin and adjacent seabed. A total of 13 seascapes were derived for the continental shelf and nine for regions beyond it using unsupervised ISOCLASS classification in ERMapper. The ecological significance of the seascapes is assessed at national, regional, and local scales using existing biological data.
Local Nature Conservation Sites data for Clackmannanshire, detailing boundaries and locations of biodiversity sites within the county. The dataset originates from the Government Digital Service via the eu_open_data platform. The last update date and specific data volume are unknown.
Outputs from the Aquaculture Network Disease Model (AquaNet-Mod) for the fiscal year 2022-23. The data includes epidemic size, duration, and cost projections for viral haemorrhagic septicaemia under various disease control scenarios. The model was developed by researchers and the code is available on GitHub repositories.
Geoscience Australia Data presents the first detailed bathymetry compilation for the Cape Darnley region in East Antarctica. The dataset integrates single-beam and multibeam data from multiple marine science voyages over several decades, improving previous regional bathymetric representations. It was presented at the 2023 POLAR 2018 A SCAR & IASC Conference.
Raw data from a 2026 study on the peacock anemone (Anemone pavonina) includes five worksheets covering pollination experiments and pollinator observations. The dataset, 61.5 KB in size, was published by Jonathan Heinze and colleagues to support findings in the American Journal of Botany. It contains measurements from receptivity tests, crossing scenarios, pollinator exclusion, flowering phenology, and pollinator distribution across an elevational gradient.
NASA's ABoVE dataset provides vegetation community characteristics, soil moisture, and biophysical data collected in 2017 from 11 study areas in the Northwest Territories, Canada. It includes data from 28 sites burned by wildfires in 2014 and 2015 and 10 unburned sites, covering peatland and upland areas. The dataset is provided in CSV format and includes digital photographs of vegetation conditions.
NASA's ABoVE dataset provides diffusive methane (CH4) fluxes collected from two thermokarst lakes in interior Alaska's Goldstream Valley during July 2018. Measurements were made using a mobile, closed chamber technique with a Los Gatos Research spectrometer, capturing fluxes from littoral zones, shorelines, and upland vegetation. The in situ data were used to verify spatial patterns in methane flux detected by NASA's AVIRIS-NG airborne spectrometer.
