A 200-million-year geological record (1800-1600 Ma) of intracontinental rifting in northern Australia, documented by the Australian Ocean Data Network. The field guide describes the evolution of three stacked sedimentary basins through a combination of mine visits and outcrop geology. It details a progression from fluvial-lacustrine to deep marine depositional environments, linked to bimodal magmatism and crustal thinning.
Fifteen of 27 potential planktic foraminiferal biostratigraphic events from the latest Pliocene-Holocene have been examined from cores offshore Queensland, Australia. The study proposes two new subzones and describes a single new species, Bolliella praeadamsi, for its biostratigraphic utility. This dataset was published via the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in June 2026.
Sydney Pierce and Terra Swartz compiled this dataset to analyze long-term changes in Ruby-throated Hummingbird migration timing. It integrates historical observations from the North American Bird Phenology Program (1880–1969) with recent citizen-science data from eBird (2006–2024) and Journey North (2001–2024). The dataset includes temperature data from the Climatic Research Unit Time-Series to evaluate associations between migration timing and climate trends.
A dataset from figshare, authored by Yongdong He and last updated in May 2026, describes a novel fungal effector protein. The data likely contains results from experiments on the endophytic fungus Fusarium lateritium and its interaction with the host plant Nicotiana benthamiana. It documents the identification of Colonization-Related Effector Protein 1 (CREP1), its role in activating plant immunity, and its interaction with the receptor protein NbEIX2.
Geoscience Australia survey 273 results characterize mobile sediments and hydrodynamics in northwest Torres Strait under trade wind conditions. The survey used multibeam sonar, current meters, grab samples, vibro-cores, underwater video, meteorological data, and Landsat imagery. This report compares findings with a prior monsoon-season survey to address objectives of the Torres Strait CRC research program.
The Australian Ocean Data Network provides an environmental summary report for the Vlaming Sub-basin and Mentelle Basin, compiled for the 2007-2011 Energy Security Initiative. The report synthesizes geological, sedimentological, oceanographic, and ecological data to characterize benthic habitats and produce seascape maps. It is delivered with a supporting Geographic Information System (GIS) for spatial analysis.
Geoscience Australia produced conceptual models for seven types of Australian estuaries and coastal waterways as part of the National Estuaries Assessment and Management project. The report contains three-dimensional block diagrams and flow diagrams depicting structure, evolution, and processes like hydrology and sediment dynamics. This document was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Plot-level field measurements of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) sapling regeneration and surrounding understory vegetation surveyed in October 2024. Twelve permanent plots were established across four fire-intensity classes within the area burned by the October 2022 Xintian wildfire in Hunan Province, China. The dataset includes sapling measurements and species-level vegetation observations for approximately 120 vascular plant species.
Australia's marine park network covers 3.3 million square kilometres, or 40 per cent of its exclusive economic zone. This dataset provides a 5-meter resolution bathymetric grid for Geographe Marine Park, created by compiling and processing Geoscience Australia's sonar data holdings. The data supports the development of 'eco-narratives' for park management, which interpret seafloor geomorphology, oceanography, and ecology.
Adrian Castellanos published this dataset on 2026-05-18 to train models predicting filovirus binding strength to bat NPC1 receptors. The 58.2 KB CSV file integrates functional traits, geographic information, habitat associations, and phylogenetic context for bat species. Binding strength labels are sourced from a 2025 study, while trait data are aggregated from multiple ecological databases.
A bathymetry survey of the Henderson Perth Canyon off Western Australia, acquired from the Research Vessel Falkor between March 1 and March 12, 2015. The data was collected by the University of Western Australia using Kongsberg EM302 and EM710 sensors to support biological exploration of deep-sea fauna. It is published with permission from Geoscience Australia and requires acknowledgment of the original scientists and the Marine Geoscience Data System.
Gabriela N. Tenea published a dataset on figshare in 2026 containing metagenomic insights into postbiotic-mediated modulation of the strawberry surface microbiome. The data likely includes taxonomic and functional profiling results from shotgun sequencing, comparing the effects of three postbiotic formulations and a commercial disinfectant. The dataset is 552.9 KB in size and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
A research paper detailing a study on zinc-deficient mice. The work evaluates the combined effects of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Ca360 and zinc sulfate on zinc metabolism, antioxidant capacity, and gut microbiota. The dataset, a 331.5 KB PDF authored by Haofei Wang, was last updated on 2026-05-28.
The dataset contains standardized ecological value scores for river reaches in New South Wales, Australia, based on a 2018 update incorporating threatened fish species data. It applies the High Ecological Value Aquatic Ecosystems (HEVAE) framework, combining four criteria—diversity, distinctiveness, naturalness, and vital habitat—into a composite score for each River Style reach. These scores, standardized from 0 to 1, are designed to identify and prioritize aquatic ecosystems of high ecological value for management and conservation.
Aditya Bansal's supplementary file from a 2026 figshare upload describes research on altering the biodistribution of systemically administered extracellular vesicles (EVs). The study used positron emission tomography imaging of 89Zr-labeled EVs in BALB/c mice to explore how substances like phenothiazine and poly(ethylene) glycol affect EV trafficking. The findings suggest a method to direct EVs to extrahepatic tissues without genetic or chemical modifications.
A three-dimensional in vitro corneal epithelium model, QobuR, was co-cultured with individual bacterial species and a mixed microbial consortium. Transcriptional profiles of genes involved in proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis were analyzed via qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. The dataset, authored by Noelia Blanco-Agudín and shared under CC-BY-4.0, is a 193.0 KB PDF file.
Noelia Blanco-Agudín published a dataset on figshare in 2026. It contains gene expression data from a three-dimensional in vitro corneal epithelium model, QobuR, following co-culture with specific bacteria and a microbial consortium. The data includes qRT-PCR results and immunohistochemical analyses measuring changes in proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis pathways.
A 166.8 KB PDF document presents research on the phytoremediation capacity of tomato seedlings against trivalent antimony (Sb(III)). The study, authored by Inmaculada Garrido and last updated in May 2026, investigates biochemical and genetic defense mechanisms, including proline, phytochelatins, and enzymes of the AsA/GSH cycle. Findings suggest roots act as a barrier to restrict metalloid translocation, contributing to identifying species for environmental remediation.
Additional File 1 from a study reconstructing mammalian lifespan evolution. It includes 18 tables with lifespan and body mass data for up to 968 species, results of phylogenetic models, and lists of lifespan-associated genes.
