A thematic issue of 12 papers analyzes the Palaeoproterozoic sedimentary rocks of the McArthur-Mt Isa-Cloncurry mineral belt in northern Australia. The papers focus on basement framework, chronostratigraphy, and geodynamic evolution of the Proterozoic successions. The collection was published as a special volume in the Australian Journal of Earth Sciences.
13 ecologically defined marine bioregions form the spatial planning framework for Canada's national network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). The dataset is published by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and was last updated in March 2026. Geographic boundaries for the bioregions are described as fuzzy and may change based on ecosystemic conditions.
Airborne hyperspectral data collected between 2014 and 2022 from three ecological research sites in Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Minnesota. The data, with spatial resolutions of 0.3 to 1 meter and spectral ranges from 400 to 2450 nanometers, were collected by the Nebraska Earth Observatory and other contractors using Aisa-series sensors mounted on fixed-wing aircraft. It is provided under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Replication Data for 'Localization of the Official Style' research on timber frameworks in ancestral halls. The dataset describes characteristics of wooden frameworks in traditional ancestral halls within the Chaoshan cultural region of Guangdong, China. It was authored by Liang, Yurong and last updated on June 17, 2026.
Figshare hosts a clinical cohort study analyzing sputum smear conversion in 141 extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis patients, including 84 with diabetes mellitus. The research identifies hyperglycemia as a primary driver of delayed bacterial clearance, using Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox regression over a 48-month retrospective period.
A 5.5 KB Excel dataset contains fecal microbiome and antibiotic-resistant gene (ARG) data from a giant panda family returning from overseas. The study compares samples from the Admission and Release stages of quarantine against native captive panda controls, tracking changes in bacterial genus proportions like Escherichia–Shigella and Streptococcus. It was authored by Yuhang Wu and shared under a CC BY 4.0 license.
12.5 KB Excel file contains tabular data on gut microbiome composition and antibiotic-resistant genes in a giant panda family returning from overseas. The dataset includes fecal samples from pandas at admission and release quarantine stages, with native captive pandas as controls. Author Yuhang Wu published the data in March 2026.
A 2001 biotope mapping survey of sublittoral habitats in Loch Sunart utilized rapid broadscale remote acoustic mapping and groundtruth data. Groundtruthing involved diver observations at 20 stations, ROV video at 52 stations, and grab sampling at 16 sedimentary stations. The collaborative research group included staff from the University of St Andrews, Heriot-Watt University, and Scottish Natural Heritage.
Baited Remote Underwater Video Systems (BRUVS) were deployed as a non-lethal method to sample larger piscivorous fish species that are under-sampled by trawl surveys. The project was conducted by Cefas from January 2012 to January 2014, resulting in 18 deployments and 37 hours and 23 minutes of recording time. The data likely contains video footage and associated metadata from these deployments.
1902 to the 1970s is the time range for this collection of station and biological data from research surveys conducted by Cefas in seas around the UK, primarily the North Sea. The data were collected seasonally, but coverage is lacking for the periods of both World Wars. Recording protocols varied over the decades, with some periods documenting all species caught and others focusing systematically on key commercial species like Plaice, Sole, and Cod.
A dataset from the UK Government Digital Service details samples of benthic macrofauna collected from MAFF research vessels. Samples were taken at 25 intermediate and offshore stations around the English and Welsh coastlines between 1992 and 1994. The dataset details the infauna present at each sampling station.
170 acoustic survey lines were completed using a Biosonics MX Scientific Echosounder to map seagrass extent and coverage within Gerrans Bay. Cornwall Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority conducted the survey on behalf of Cornwall Wildlife Trust as part of a blue carbon mapping project funded by the G7 Legacy Fund. The survey site is within the Falmouth Bay to St Austell Bay Special Protection Area.
Data and scripts from the manuscript "Lack of population structure of an extreme migratory shorebird: evidence of gene flow between geographically disparate populations" by Gherardi-Fuentes et al. 2026. The dataset includes nuclear microsatellite data from Hudsonian Godwits (Limosa haemastica) across two North American breeding and two South American nonbreeding areas. It is hosted on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license and was last updated on March 17, 2026.
Plankton samples collected during 15 survey voyages from 2006 to 2010 in the Irish Sea. The data consists of counts of fish eggs and larvae, along with positional data and volumes filtered. Samples were analyzed under a Cefas contract and the dataset is provided by the Government Digital Service.
A 2022 acoustic survey mapped the extent and coverage of a seagrass bed within St. Austell Bay, Cornwall. Cornwall Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA) conducted the survey on behalf of Cornwall Wildlife Trust, funded by the G7 Legacy Fund. The analysis included 356 of the 367 survey lines collected using a Biosonics MX Scientific Echosounder.
172 Escherichia coli strains were isolated from fecal samples of relict gulls (Larus relictus) in the Hongjian Nur area of Shaanxi Province, China. The dataset includes results from drug susceptibility testing, drug resistance gene detection via PCR, phylogenetic clustering, and multi-locus sequence typing. It was authored by Anwen He and uploaded to figshare on March 19, 2026.
Total count and biomass in grams of seabed taxa from 2m beam trawl samples collected during a fishing impact recovery survey. Data were collected at three time points (before, immediately after, and 8 months after impact) during two research surveys on the RV Cefas Endeavour in April and November 2015. The dataset includes associated station information from three experimental treatment boxes within the Fladen Grounds.
Cefas (formerly Directorate of Fisheries) collected station and biological data during research surveys in UK seas, primarily the North Sea, starting in 1902. The data spans multiple decades but lacks records from both World Wars and exhibits variations in species recording protocols over time. Surveys occurred in each season, though gear and methods were not standardized throughout the long-term series.
A 2006-2010 survey series comprising 15 voyages collected plankton samples across a planned grid in the Irish Sea. The data likely contains counts of fish eggs and larvae, associated positional coordinates, and volumes of water filtered. The Government Digital Service published this dataset, which was analyzed under a Cefas contract.
United Kingdom and Isle of Man point records showing the distribution of cold water coral reefs, an OSPAR and Biodiversity Action Plan Habitat. The data was created for the Defra MB0102 contract to support the delivery of a network of Marine Protected Areas, including Marine Conservation Zones. This work also aims to underpin marine planning and licensing activities.
