24,607 datasets
37,312 data series track merchandise imports and exports between Canada and the United States. The dataset includes 22 Harmonized System sections, 15 Canadian geographies, and 53 U.S. states, with records starting from 1990.
Important Areas for coral, sponge, and reef-building species in the West Coast Vancouver Island ecoregion, mapped to inform the selection of marine Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas. Data collection involved expert assessment based on criteria like Uniqueness, Aggregation, and Fitness Consequences. Initial assessments were conducted from 2004-2005 for the PNCIMA region, with subsequent efforts in WCVI and SOG in 2009.
Important Areas for key seabird species in the West Coast Vancouver Island ecoregion were mapped to inform the selection of marine Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas. Experts identified these areas based on high rankings in criteria of Uniqueness, Aggregation, and Fitness Consequences. Data collection for this region was conducted in 2009, building on separate earlier efforts in other marine areas.
Critical habitat data for the endangered St. Lawrence Estuary Striped Bass population, defined through a 2011 analysis of scientific knowledge. The dataset is based on peer-reviewed research documents and a formal recovery strategy. It supports conservation efforts under Canada's Species at Risk Act.
2002–2017 data for bottom longline and trap gear and 2003–2018 data for pelagic longline gear show commercial fishery footprints in the Scotian Shelf, Bay of Fundy, and Georges Bank. The dataset, produced by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, aggregates logbook effort and vessel monitoring system data into 2-minute grid cells for mapping. It is intended for use in marine spatial planning and ecological risk assessment.
West Coast Vancouver Island ecoregion data details Important Areas (IAs) for geographic features, mapped to inform the selection of marine Ecologically and Biologically Significant Areas (EBSAs). Experts identified these areas based on high rankings in criteria like Uniqueness, Aggregation, and Fitness Consequences. Data collection for this region was conducted in 2009, building on earlier efforts from 2004-2005.
Zachary Hutchins published quantitative proteomic data from a murine house dust mite asthma model on figshare in April 2026. The dataset contains tandem mass tag (TMT)-based analyses of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and BALF-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). It identifies proteins like CLCA1, FCGBP, CHIL3, CHIL4, RETNLA, EPX, and CKM, which are associated with Th2 immune response and asthma pathogenesis.
Digital Earth Australia Mangroves provides annual maps of mangrove canopy cover density across Australia's coastal ecosystems. The dataset uses over 35 years of Landsat satellite data from 1987 to the present at a 30-meter spatial resolution. Each map contains a single canopy_cover_class band with values representing four density classes and a 'not observed' category.
Fisheries and Oceans Canada manages this collection of designated Marine Protected Areas and Areas of Interest under the Oceans Act. The dataset supports the long-term conservation of nature, ecosystem services, and cultural values for six specific conservation purposes. It includes geospatial data in formats like KML, SHP, and ESRI REST services.
A review examining the utility of abiotic surrogates for describing marine benthic biodiversity. The work is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-04-16. It discusses how abiotic variables can fill gaps in biological data for managing biodiversity at multiple scales.
The Amadeus Basin in Australia hosts the Middle Ordovician Stairway Sandstone, a shallow marine sedimentary unit. The dataset likely contains fossil records, including early arandaspid fish and conodonts, enabling correlation to international biozonation schemes. It is provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on April 16, 2026.
Seabed environments, habitats, and biological assemblages from the Great Barrier Reef, as described in a 2008 scientific publication. The data is hosted by Geoscience Australia and was last updated in the platform on April 30, 2026. It likely contains information on seabed composition and associated biological communities.
Supplementary material from the study 'Unlocking the early evolution of brain and feeding strategies in Anseriformes: the case of Conflicto antarcticus'. The dataset, published on figshare by Federico Javier Javier Degrange, includes a 3D endocast model of the extinct bird Conflicto antarcticus. The data was last updated on June 4, 2026.
Dog license records from Cambridge's Animal Commission include dog name, breed, gender, and birth year. Locations are masked for privacy, with data aggregated to neighborhoods, census blocks, and police districts. The dataset was last updated in March 2026 by data.cambridgema.gov.
Reconstruction of North Sea trawling effort 1985-2015 provides a spatial distribution of total international otter and beam trawling fishing effort. The dataset covers a 31-year time span and is structured by ICES rectangles, which are 0.5 degree latitude by 1 degree longitude cells. It was largely reconstructed using compiled effort data from 7 fishing effort time-series and completed by estimations of missing data.
Appendix tables from a Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat research document summarize data for individual estuaries along the Pacific Coast of Canada. The data includes cluster assignments, coordinates, bioregion, area measurements, and counts of anthropogenic activities to support integrated coastal planning. The analysis was peer-reviewed in April 2023.
A 68.6 MB genome assembly for the jellyfish Rhopilema esculenta, published on figshare in April 2026. The dataset was created by xue wang using PacBio HiFi long reads and Hi-C technology. It is provided in FA and GFF file formats under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Ancillary images of fauna, flora, fungi, and general scenery captured on an ad-hoc basis at the Boyagin Wandoo Woodland SuperSite. The site was established in 2017 in a Wandoo Woodland area where about 80% of the overstorey cover is Eucalyptus accedens. Images are provided in PNG format.
23,813 carapace images of red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) are paired with an equal number of spot-coordinate annotation files. The dataset, created by Zhang, Cheng-long and hosted on Harvard Dataverse, includes longitudinal cross-time samples, full-sibling samples, and a real-image subset for non-temporal evaluation. It was last updated on May 20, 2026.
CEAMARC, part of Australia's International Polar Year contribution, surveyed marine life and habitats near Terre Adelie and George V Land in East Antarctica. Scientists from Australia, Japan, and France collected data in 2007-08 to understand evolutionary processes and predict responses to climate change. Findings were intended for publication in a special journal volume in late 2010.
