Australian Ocean Data Network compiled a directory of biological features (lebensspuren) from thousands of high-resolution still images taken along the Eastern and Western margins of Australia. The data was used to correlate abiotic factors with these features and evaluate the technique for quantifying biological activity and diversity in deep-sea soft sediments.
Digital Earth Australia (DEA) Coastal Ecosystems is a national dataset mapping Australia's mangrove, saltmarsh, intertidal, and intertidal seagrass ecosystems. It uses annual Sentinel-2 satellite imagery time-series to provide consistent 10-meter resolution mapping at a continental scale. The dataset is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated on 2026-06-17.
Six components of a study address stakeholder concerns about a seismic survey's impact on marine life. The project includes sound modelling, moored hydrophone monitoring, AUV benthic assessment, bivalve dredging, acoustic fish tagging, and fisheries catch analysis. Data from the Australian Ocean Data Network was last updated in June 2026.
A 2026 project by the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub designed to improve the socio-ecological understanding of Australian Marine Parks. It redesigned two national surveys targeting recreational fishers and the general public to support management plan reviews. The project's outputs include aggregated survey responses and a final technical report.
A report from the Australian Ocean Data Network tests relationships between physical environmental factors and benthic macrofauna in the southern Gulf of Carpentaria. The analysis is based on factors including sediment composition, sediment mobility, water depth, and organic carbon flux. Results are extrapolated to the wider Northern Planning Area, with uncertainties noted for marine planning applications.
Southern Australian shelf waters south of the Tropic of Capricorn are mapped for seafloor habitats using two Bayesian models. The models, developed by the NESP MaC Project 2.1, discriminate 'functional reef' from sediment and classify five broad ecosystem components. Outputs include mapping services and visualizations derived from 250m resolution bathymetry, benthic imagery, and oceanographic covariates.
A desktop study from the Australian Ocean Data Network investigates potential links between marine seismic operations and commercial fish catch rates. The analysis uses historical fishing logbook data and seismic survey records, employing three novel generalized linear models to test for statistical relationships. No clear or consistent relationship between seismic surveys and subsequent fisheries catch rates was identified by the study.
A 2017 methodology for integrating existing monitoring sites into new ecological surveys to improve spatial balance and reduce uncertainty. The method, developed by Foster et al., is illustrated using a proposed survey of a large marine reserve in South-Eastern Australia. An R package called MBHdesign is available to implement the described methods.
Museum Victoria collected biological data on Bass Strait fauna between 1979 and 1983. The dataset includes sediment samples, swath mapping, and underwater video footage, indicating high faunal diversity influenced by longitude and depth. Analysis suggests biological patterns broadly support regional marine classifications but are not consistent enough for detailed mapping.
Biological and sediment data collected by Museum Victoria between 1979 and 1983 in an extensive survey of Bass Strait. The dataset includes identified biological material from a range of taxonomic groups, sediment samples, and underwater video footage, indicating a particularly diverse fauna with high small-scale variation. Analysis suggests longitude and depth are important factors, but overall correlation of faunal composition with physical factors is poor.
A 2021 dataset from The University of Tokyo accompanies the EasyDCP Python package for 3D plant phenotyping. It likely contains 3D point clouds and derived trait measurements for container plants, generated using a do-it-yourself photogrammetry setup. The data was used to validate EasyDCP against a commercial laser scanner, showing strong correlations for plant height and projected leaf area.
A curated taxonomic list of fruit-bearing plants for human consumption, managed by the Pomar Urbano project. The dataset includes accepted, newly added, and removed species, with metadata such as scientific name, family, vernacular name, origin, and geographic distribution within Brazil's macro-regions. Vernacular names are provided only in Portuguese.
Annual demography data for an alpine plant community on Mt. Baldy, Colorado, collected at approximately 3540 meters above sea level. The dataset supports analyses in a 2021 Ecosphere publication and is actively used for PhD dissertation work. It updates previous years of data posted to the Dryad repository.
Four new bathymetry grids integrate seabed depth data with the island's topography for the Lord Howe Island region. The data were created by the Australian Ocean Data Network to support marine habitat and physical process studies. The report describes the methodology for data collection, quality control, and gridding.
An authoritative overview of research on interactions between macro- and microorganisms in marine sediments. The content focuses on plant-microbe-sediment and animal-microbe-sediment dynamics, benthic community structuring, and impacts on sediment geochemistry. It was published by the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated on 2026-06-27.
Helsinki, Finland, is the location for this processed dataset of plane-wave propagation paths from a wideband MIMO channel sounding measurement at 5.3 GHz, conducted in April 2004. It contains direction of departure, direction of arrival, delay, and complex polarimetric path gain for the 30 strongest paths at each of 4,574 receiver locations along a 50-meter urban street route. The data is intended for the statistical comparison of receiver antenna performance in a realistic microcell environment.
563,414 bird banding records were used to estimate sex-specific apparent survival for 92 species across 17 families and 2 orders. The data, authored by Joanna X. Wu, shows female adult birds had an average apparent survival of 0.479, which is 12.4% lower than the male average of 0.538. The dataset was last updated on June 4, 2026.
A 2011-2012 survey of 60 permanent plots across six dune stages spanning up to 2 million years of soil development in the Southwest Australian biodiversity hotspot. The dataset, accompanying a 2015 Nature Plants paper, includes floristic surveys and soil chemical analyses from 420 subplots. It was collected by researchers and published via the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's Data Discovery portal.
10 posts form a nature trail in Knighton Spinney, a woodland in Leicester. Leicester City Council and volunteers manage the site, which includes oak trees planted around 200 years ago. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-17.
Over 866 georeferenced aquatic microbiome samples from South America with manually revised environmental metadata. Sebastián Metz from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique published this data in July 2022. A curated subset of these samples includes high-quality reads, Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs), and taxonomic classifications.
