Site visit records from the UK Ruddy Duck Control Trial between 1999 and 2002, compiled by the Government Digital Service. The data includes details of all visits where Ruddy Ducks were culled and, from mid-July 1999, all visits where counts were made. It also contains estimates of wounded birds and uses standardized codes for other species present.
NatureScot prepared a consolidated spatial dataset of carbon-rich soils, deep peat, and priority peatland habitats in Scotland. The map is derived from existing soil and vegetation data from the James Hutton Institute and Land Cover Scotland 1988. It serves as a predictive, high-level planning tool to indicate the likely presence of peat at a coarse scale.
A geospatial dataset from the Forestry Grant Scheme identifying the highest priority areas for rhododendron control in Scotland. The data is defined by red and orange areas on a map, supporting capital work to benefit priority habitats and species under the Scottish Biodiversity Strategy. It is published by the Government Digital Service via the eu_open_data platform.
Québec government data delineates areas where biting insects are treated. The dataset is available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON, SHP, and CSV. It was last updated on April 22, 2026.
Madrid, Spain, is the location for this dataset of experimental and observational field data on ecological interactions between invasive Monk Parakeets and native urban birds. The data, collected between 2021 and 2023, includes raw counts, abundance metrics, and behavioral matrices, accompanied by R scripts for analysis. It was created by Jon Blanco González for a manuscript accepted in Ecological Applications.
Laboratory experiment data from project NE/K011464/1 on cyanobacterial crusts and landscape stability. Soils from two sites in eastern Australia were treated to grow crusts for 5, 30, or 60 days, then subjected to simulated rainfall and wind tunnel tests at velocities from 5 to 12 m s-1. Variables measured include spectral reflectance, surface roughness, chlorophyll content, and particle-size analysis of eroded material.
1.95 million km2 of the Lord Howe Rise region, spanning latitudes from 18.4°S to 40.3°S, is reviewed for its physical and biological characteristics. The Australian Ocean Data Network published this synthesis, which integrates data from surveys like TAN0713 and NORFANZ to assess differences in biological communities between raised and subdued seafloor features. The review was last updated in April 2026.
Geoscience Australia collected towed video and still images of the seafloor from 2007 onwards to improve understanding of Australia's marine environments. The data package includes footage from 21 marine surveys conducted between 2007 and 2013, including Antarctic waters. Video was recorded 1-2 metres above the seafloor, covering distances up to 1-2 km to capture geological features, habitats, and organisms.
This dataset supports a study on how drought conditions mediate soil microbial legacies and indirect competition among exotic plants. It includes original measurements and analysis results related to plant species, notably with a taxonomic correction for Oenothera tetraptera. The data is associated with a published manuscript and is provided under an open license.
A study mapping infaunal assemblages across the Lord Howe Island shelf using high-resolution multibeam sonar and sediment grabs. The research identified three geomorphic zones—drowned lagoon, relict reef, and outer shelf—as strong predictors of community structure. The dataset was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-04-10.
A study of sediments and benthic fossil biota across three areas forming a transect from the Fly River Delta to the shelf edge in the Torres Strait-Gulf of Papua region. The dataset likely contains relative abundances of foraminiferal assemblages and species distribution patterns correlated with environmental variables. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science collected bathymetry data for the Arafura Marine Park from November 2 to 15, 2020. The survey aimed to build baseline information on benthic habitats to support a 10-year environmental monitoring plan. Data includes a 6-meter resolution geotiff of multibeam bathymetry for Money Shoal and Pillar Bank areas.
Lord Howe Island is a volcanic island rising over 800 meters, draped with Late Quaternary carbonate sediments. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026, focuses on the island's position at the latitudinal limit to coral reef growth and insights into marine planation. It includes information on erosional landforms, a fringing reef dominated by coral and algae, and sediment dating from marine oxygen isotope stage 5.
High-resolution multibeam bathymetry and seafloor imagery data were collected for Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs in the Lord Howe Marine Park from January 31 to February 6, 2020. The survey was conducted by the Marine Biodiversity Hub, involving Geoscience Australia, the University of Tasmania, the University of Sydney, and other agencies. The aim was to map seabed habitats and associated fauna in the lagoon and mesophotic shelves using multibeam sonar, Autonomous Underwater Vehicles, sediment samples, and stereo-baited remote underwater videos.
A study presents a rapid method for characterizing seabed habitats using sidescan sonar and a towed camera-sled. Data was collected within the Point Harris Marine Reserve on the northern coast of San Miguel Island, California. The method enables preliminary seabed characterizations to be interrogated and mapped within hours of data collection.
Modeled juvenile period data for serotinous obligate-seeder plant taxa across south-west Australia delineates population decline risk under specific fire intervals. The dataset, authored by Carl Gosper for the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, provides spatial projections for two key metrics under recent climatic conditions centered on 1990.
Biomarker and palynological data from the Middle Ordovician upper Goldwyer Formation in Australia, providing evidence for the earliest land plant microfossils. The dataset includes molecular proxies like long-chain n-alkane distributions and their isotopic compositions, as well as the biomarker retene. It was published via the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-04-10.
A 2008 bay-scale assessment of eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds in three northern New Brunswick estuaries: Cocagne, Bouctouche, and Tabusintac. The dataset includes maps of eelgrass cover, health scores based on epiphyte load, and ancillary bottom features like algal growth and bacterial mats. Data was collected using a novel towfish package combining underwater video, scaling lasers, and sidescan sonar to achieve sub-meter precision in turbid waters.
November 2025 data from drone surveys of 61 transects within the Musquash Marine Protected Area in New Brunswick, Canada. The dataset characterizes intertidal habitats using orthomosaic maps derived from aerial photography to support marine pollution response and conservation planning. It was created by Fisheries and Oceans Canada to develop rapid, affordable habitat survey methodologies.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada's CBS-MEA program documents epifauna occurrences from 2021 to 2024 in the Canadian Beaufort Sea and Amundsen Gulf. Sampling occurred at 32 stations in 2021, 22 in 2022, 23 in 2023, and 22 in 2024, using benthic beam and otter trawls at depths between 22-655 meters. Specimens were identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible and photographed, with data structured in Darwin Core format.
