A. Challen Hyman published a dataset quantifying size-specific survival of juvenile blue crabs across three habitats via a manipulative tethering experiment. The data was collected in the York River, Chesapeake Bay, USA, accounting for spatial orientation, seasonality, and turbidity. Results were analyzed using Bayesian hierarchical logistic regression models to reveal survival interactions between crab size and habitat.
Sedimentological data from Ashmore Reef details its response to Holocene sea-level rise over the past 11,000 years. The dataset includes carbon-dated facies changes from 12 vibro-cores, with dates ranging from approximately 970 to 2020 years before present. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in April 2026.
Australia's fisheries enforcement zones in the Timor and Arafura Seas, produced for the Australian Fisheries Management Authority. This map, originally in Indonesian and translated to English, uses icons to explain fishing boundaries to Indonesian fishermen. It was updated in 2019 to reflect the 2018 Australia/Timor-Leste Maritime Boundaries Treaty.
The BIODESERT global survey provides data on plant and soil microbial ฮฑ-diversity and ฮฒ-diversity from 326 plots across 98 sites in 25 countries. This dataset, created by Fangli Wei, was collected between 2016 and 2019 to evaluate the combined effects of grazing and climate on dryland ecosystems. It also includes the main codes used to run linear mixed-effects models for analyzing the diversity data.
5.5 KB of model performance metrics from a study linking researcher publication and grant metrics to startup funding in Japan. The dataset, created by Yoshifumi Mizuhara and last updated in April 2026, likely contains results from classification models distinguishing growing and non-growing university-originated startups. The analysis underpins a framework for evaluating researcher entrepreneurial engagement.
Predictor variables linking total funding amounts for deep-tech university-originated startups to researchers' publication metrics and KAKENHI grant records. The dataset was created by Yoshifumi Mizuhara and last updated in April 2026. It is a 13.5 KB XLS file, suggesting a small-scale, tabular dataset.
Genomic and molecular data from a study of cumacean crustaceans in Antarctica. The project generated sequenced genomes from 8 species, about 250 transcriptomes from about 70 species, and approximately 470 COI and 16S amplicon barcodes from about 100 species. Research was conducted by the AMD_USAPDC organization, with data last updated in July 2026.
A GIS layer identifies areas of Ancient Woodland and Parkland in the UK where recent, auditable records of ammonia-sensitive lichens are held by Natural Resources Wales. The dataset focuses on 62 lichen species that are particularly sensitive to increased ammonia and are important in the woodland ecosystem. Areas identified as sensitive should be assessed using a 1ยตg/m3 NH3 Critical Level.
Long-term surveillance data from 2018 to 2024, likely containing records of hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) and SFTSV monitoring in Dangjin, South Korea. The dataset is published by Hyeon Jun Shin on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license. The data is provided as an XLSX file sized at 56.1 KB.
Habitat maps classify patch-types in a sandy embayment using abiotic parameters like sediment composition and biogeochemical factors. The dataset includes winter (August) and summer (February) surveys from Jervis Bay, Australia, conducted by the Australian Ocean Data Network. It integrates physical, biogeochemical, and infaunal data to analyze spatial and temporal influences on biodiversity.
Australian Capital Territory's official list of species at risk of extinction or significant decline, as mandated by the Nature Conservation Act 2014. The Minister for the Environment maintains this list based on assessments by the ACT Scientific Committee, with species granted Special Protection Status. Ngunnawal species names are provided and endorsed by the Winnagaay Ngunnawal Language Aboriginal Corporation.
348 sponge species were identified from approximately 750 specimens collected in the Oceanic Shoals Commonwealth Marine Reserve in northern Australia. The dataset, compiled from three marine surveys, supports analysis of biodiversity patterns across carbonate banks and terraces. It was published in a 2015 PLOS ONE study to inform marine management strategies.
Bird banding and resighting data collected by Environment and Climate Change Canada researchers over a 19-year period at the St. Denis National Wildlife Area. The dataset was digitized and cleaned through the Living Data Project data rescue hackathon and internship. It consists of five spreadsheets detailing banding information, species codes, resighting records, pond coordinates, and a data dictionary.
Twelve scientific papers analyze the McArthur-Mt Isa-Cloncurry mineral belt, which hosts major zinc, copper-gold, and uranium deposits. The collection documents basement framework, chronostratigraphy, and geodynamic evolution of Palaeoproterozoic successions. This thematic issue was published by the Australian Journal of Earth Sciences and aggregated by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Yu Zijian's dataset and code support a global meta-analysis investigating the effects of litter addition on plant performance and ecosystem functions. The data is stored in R and XLSX files totaling 2.8 MB and was last updated on April 28, 2026. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on the figshare platform.
Geoscience Australia provides a legacy dataset on plant fossils from the Stannary Hills district in North Queensland. The data is presented as a published record, likely containing descriptive text and geospatial context. Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download.
Seabed geomorphology maps detail the shape and evolution of Australia's underwater landscapes. Dr Rachel Nanson and an international team developed a new standardized classification system for these maps, which is being implemented by Geoscience Australia. The data supports decision-making for marine parks and offshore renewable energy, with recent updates in April 2026.
Plant fossils from the Hodgkinson Formation in North Queensland, Australia, are documented in this legacy product from Geoscience Australia. The dataset is published on data_gov_au and was last updated on 2026-05-14. Metadata is minimal; the actual content and data format require verification after download.
Gas sensor responses from an electronic nose (e-nose) to the dry aroma of pekoe-shaped green tea. The dataset is 12.5 MB in size and was authored by Rini Handayani. It was last updated on April 9, 2026.
Figshare hosts a database compiled for a meta-analysis on plant evolutionary responses to global change. The data supports a review of 61 studies, including a meta-analysis of 46 studies, focusing on rapid evolution in plant species. It examines traits like phenology and leaf physiology across populations in North America and Europe.
