Cartographic representations of Fisheries Management Areas (FMAs) for nine key species in the Atlantic and Arctic regions of Canada. The polygon feature classes are drafted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada based on legal documents like the Atlantic Fisheries Regulations and Integrated Fisheries Management Plans. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03 24 and is projected into NAD83, with notes on any adjustments from original sources.
Records of bony fishes and elasmobranchs collected by Reef Life Survey and Australian Temperate Reef Collaboration divers along 50m transects on shallow rocky and coral reefs. It includes abundance information for all species recorded within quantitative survey limits, with size and biomass data when available. The data is collated from multiple contributors including state agencies and research partners.
The Grassland Vegetation Inventory (GVI) is a biophysical and land-use inventory for the southern White Area of Alberta, Canada. It was produced by the Government of Alberta, with compilation starting in 2006 as an update to a 1993 inventory. The dataset classifies landscape polygons into ecological range sites and general land use categories.
Archival temperature tag data from gentoo penguins in the South Shetland Islands measures winter foraging trip frequency, timing, and duration from 2005 to 2008. The dataset provides estimates of minimum daily food requirements, which averaged 0.70 ± 0.12 kg day-1 and exhibited a seasonal cycle. Extrapolated regional food demand was equivalent to roughly 33% of the annual commercial krill catch in the area over the past decade.
A spatial dataset ranking wildlife habitat sensitivity to guide renewable energy project siting in Alberta. It classifies zones into Critical, High, Moderate, and Lower risk categories based on proximity to native grasslands and presence of species at risk. The data was developed by the Government of Alberta in concert with provincial Wildlife Directives for wind and solar energy projects.
Derived Ecosite Phase v1.0 is a spatial ecological dataset for Alberta, produced by the Government of Alberta. It digitally represents ecological sites and phases by integrating Alberta Vegetation Inventory imagery and LiDAR data, specifically in areas where both sources are available. This version has been superseded by v2.0.
Geoscience Australia, AIMS, and the Northern Territory Government collected surface sediment data in Bynoe Harbour from 2-29 May 2016 aboard the RV Solander. This dataset comprises the results of sediment oxygen demand experiments conducted on those seabed samples. The work was part of a four-year (2014-2018) program to create thematic habitat maps for marine resource management in the Darwin and Bynoe Harbour regions.
An open-access article authored by researchers from multiple institutions, including the University of Wisconsin–Madison and the University of Florida. The paper discusses strategies for improving the accessibility of scientific content.
Monthly reports submitted by the Animal Control Administrator to the Macoupin County Board starting in late 2008. The dataset contains links to PDF reports with data on operations such as adoptions and service calls. The previous month's data is provided in each report submitted to the Board.
Since 2015, the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center has collected benthic images from coral reef climate stations across American Samoa. SCUBA divers photographed reef sites at 1-meter intervals along 15-meter transects, generating 30 photographs per survey site. These images are analyzed to estimate benthic cover, taxonomic composition, and generic richness.
NOAA's Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center collected benthic images during photoquadrat surveys as part of the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program. SCUBA divers photographed reef sites at 1-meter intervals along 15-meter transects at climate stations across the Mariana Archipelago, generating 30 photographs per survey site. These images are analyzed to estimate benthic cover, taxonomic composition, and generic richness.
Since 2019, the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program has collected structural complexity metrics for coral reefs across the U.S. Pacific regions. The data are derived from Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry of diver-collected imagery, processed into digital elevation models. Metrics include rugosity, fractal dimension, and height range, calculated from stratified-random survey sites.
Underway data from the 2014 Linnaeus research voyage LI2014_V04, which deployed and recovered moorings and CTDs. The dataset includes GPS navigation, thermosalinograph, and fluorometer measurements recorded at 1-second intervals. It was collected by the Australian Ocean Data Network on March 19, 2014, during a voyage from Hillarys, Western Australia, to the Perth Canyon and back.
Comprising records of mobile macroinvertebrate abundance collected by divers along 50-meter transects on shallow rocky and coral reefs around Australia. Data is contributed by multiple organizations including Reef Life Survey and the Australian Temperate Reef Collaboration, using standardized survey methods. The dataset supersedes a previous collection, with provision of the old data stopped in June 2021.
Comprising records of cryptobenthic fish abundance collected by divers along standardized 50-meter transects on shallow rocky and coral reefs around Australia. Data is contributed by multiple organizations including Reef Life Survey and the Australian Temperate Reef Network. It supersedes a previous collection that stopped provision in June 2021.
BioSCape vegetation plot survey data was collected at 36 sites across the Berg and Eerste River catchments in the Western Cape, South Africa. The dataset includes standardized plot surveys from 2022 and 2023 field seasons, with species identifications, fractional ground cover, vegetation dominance, and rarefaction counts. Data is provided by the ORNL_CLOUD organization in CSV format, with plot boundaries recorded in KML files.
Geoscience Australia conducted a field survey in Cockburn Sound, Western Australia, in March 2004. The report documents sampling techniques for surface and subsurface sediment collection, including vibracores and grab samples. The data was intended for sediment classification, stratigraphic reconstruction, and ground-truthing sonar surveys.
Geoscience Australia, the Australian Institute of Marine Science, and the Northern Territory Government collected surface sediment data in Bynoe Harbour from 2-29 May 2016. The dataset comprises total chlorin concentrations, chlorin indices, and porosity measurements from seabed sediments. This work was part of a four-year (2014-2018) program to create baseline habitat maps for marine resource management in the Darwin and Bynoe Harbour regions.
European continental shelf data and R code for analyzing marine fish range shifts. The dataset, created by Arnaud Auber, was last updated on April 29, 2026. It is a 3.4 GB ZIP file containing the materials used to produce a study on expanding and deepening fish distributions.
A 3.4 GB dataset supporting research on the evolutionary trajectories of Bronze Age ritual vessels using interpretable artificial intelligence. The dataset was authored by Honglin Pang and last updated on May 9, 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on the figshare platform.
