Data and code supporting a manuscript testing the effects of seabirds on atoll energetics and resilience. The dataset was authored by Nicholas Graham of Island Reef Connections and was last updated on June 17, 2026.
Coral core calcification data from Cheeca Rocks and Little Conch Reef in the Florida Keys provides annual measurements of linear extension, skeletal density, and calcification rates. The dataset was collected between 2003 and 2011 by NOAA's Acidification Calcification and Coral Reef Ecosystems Team (ACCRETE) as part of the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program. Cores were extracted underwater using a pneumatic drill and analyzed via computed tomography to derive growth band records.
NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center collected geospatial, temperature, and depth data from towed-diver surveys of coral reef ecosystems across the U.S. Pacific Islands from 2000 to 2017. The dataset includes over 17 years of continuous monitoring across the Hawaiian and Mariana Archipelagos, American Samoa, and the Pacific Remote Island Areas. Data was gathered by towing SCUBA divers behind a boat, with instrumentation recording location, temperature, and depth every 5 seconds.
Conservation Opportunity Areas (COAs) are spatial priorities for wildlife habitat and population management in Connecticut. The State of Connecticut developed this set of 7 COAs in 2025 using ecological and social data analyzed with Zonation software. The plan defines areas for actions like protect, connect, restore, manage, partner, inform, and research.
GOOMEX data submitted by Dr. Gary Wolf of Texas A&M University contains marine chemistry, fish surveys, benthic organisms, and pollutant measurements from the Gulf of Mexico. Data were collected from the J.W. POWELL and other platforms between 26 January 1993 and 13 June 1994. The dataset has been processed by the NODC into standard formats F069, F123, F132, and F144.
A document from the Australian Ocean Data Network describes the management and quality assurance processes for the National Reef Monitoring Network (NRMN). The NRMN integrates long-term scientific and citizen science monitoring data to provide publicly accessible information on shallow reef biodiversity globally. The document was last updated on 2026-04-29.
Subsurface temperature recorders provide hourly seawater temperature data from permanent coral reef monitoring sites across the Pacific Ocean. The dataset spans from 2001 to 2012, collected by NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center as part of the Pacific Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program. High-accuracy instruments were deployed at depths of 0 to 30 meters for multi-year periods to track temperature variability.
Kyoungsik Chang authored a dataset on flow hydrodynamics, sediment erosion potential, and drag forces in an open channel containing arrays of vegetation patches at its banks. The dataset is 268.4 KB in size and was last updated on May 13, 2026. It is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license on the figshare platform.
Australian government agencies and research institutions provide a critical synthesis of scientific evidence on the effects of marine seismic survey noise. The work updates a prior review summarizing 70 peer-reviewed studies and incorporates research from the past four years. It was produced by Geoscience Australia in collaboration with Curtin University and CSIRO.
Seventy peer-reviewed scientific studies on the effects of impulsive low-frequency sound on marine life were synthesized in an initial 2017 literature review. This updated critical review incorporates research from the subsequent four years to maintain current understanding for Australian government policy. The work was produced by Geoscience Australia in collaboration with Curtin University and CSIRO.
A CORDAP scoping study database categorizes ecological risks for active coral reef interventions. It contains extracted data from 169 scientific articles covering 30 interventions and 198 identified risks. The Australian Ocean Data Network hosts this collection, which was compiled from a literature search completed in October 2023.
Cocos (Keeling) Island, located 3,685km west of Darwin, is a mid-ocean atoll with a shallow surrounding shelf. This report from the Australian Ocean Data Network describes the creation of four detailed bathymetry grids, integrating seabed and topographic data for the region. The data was last updated on 2026-04-10.
Montgomery County Animal Services provides a list of shelter animals ready for adoption. The dataset includes details like Pet name, Breed, Sex, and Pet Age. It is updated every two hours by data.montgomerycountymd.gov.
Juvenile period data for serotinous obligate-seeder plant taxa across south-west Australia were collated from several studies. Linear models estimate juvenile period based on environmental productivity, with projections for change between recent conditions and 2050 under RCP 4.5. The dataset was created by Carl Gosper of the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
Net CO2, evaporation, and heat flux data collected from an oak plantation in southern England over 13 years. The dataset, referenced in a 2012 Biogeosciences publication, is designed to be combined with meteorological data to examine inter-annual drivers of carbon uptake. It includes corrected fluxes, quality flags, random error estimates, and supporting atmospheric variables.
April and September 2020 data from the Wailingding Island marine ranch was used to build an Ecopath model with 17 defined functional groups. The model quantified ecosystem characteristics, including a total system throughput of 10,536.750 t/(km²·year) and trophic levels ranging from 1.000 to 3.737. It was created by Xue Feng to assess energy flows, structural characteristics, and the ecological carrying capacity of the coastal system.
A comment on the 2009 study by Williams et al. regarding Australia's deep-water marine reserve network. The document discusses the use of geomorphic features as surrogates for benthic biodiversity and critiques the design of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) on Australia's southeast continental margin. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in April 2026.
Community-submitted sightings of native species within the City of Sydney local government area. The dataset is used to power the Wildlife Watch Geoform for public reporting. It was last updated on 2026-06-01.
This dataset supports a method for constructing insect-plant food webs using multiplexed long-fragment DNA metabarcoding. The associated NGSdiet tool automates the processing of high-throughput sequencing data from four genetic markers (insect COI and plant rbcL, ITS, and trnL). It enables rapid, low-cost identification of herbivorous insect diets to understand ecosystem functioning.
Private lands contributed approximately 39–45% of highly connected habitat for urban-adapted species in Metro Vancouver, exceeding the contribution of public lands. This geospatial dataset quantifies vegetation dynamics and multi-species habitat connectivity by integrating land cover, parcel ownership, and landscape metrics from 2014 to 2020. The study by Mohamed, Abdiqafar, hosted on Borealis Harvested Dataverse, reveals a net regional forest loss of about 3,962 hectares alongside fragmentation patterns.
