159 National Character Areas in England, each with a unique 'sense of place', form a framework for cohesive countryside character. The dataset, updated in January 2023 with Agricultural and Broad Landscape Typology fields, is provided by Natural England and contains Ordnance Survey data. It serves as a basis for strategies on ecological and landscape issues, planning, and management.
A spatial eligibility layer derived from version 2.1 of the Priority Habitat Inventory, identifying land for wet grassland conservation. The dataset, created by Natural England, maps coastal floodplain grazing marsh, purple moor grass and rush pasture, and lowland meadow areas that support or could support breeding wading birds. It is intended as a simple check for applicants to the Countryside Stewardship Scheme.
1983-2020 data records occurrences of sensitive and rare fish species captured during scientific groundfish trawl surveys in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean and marginal seas. The dataset is built from a curated list of species identified from international conservation lists, IUCN Red List categories, and academic work, filtered for presence in the OSPAR area. Observations are divided by region, including the Bay of Biscay, Celtic Seas, Greater North Sea, Norwegian Sea, and parts of Macaronesia.
Parks Australia provides an estimate of spawning biomass for sardine (Sardinops sagax) in South Australian waters from February to April 2014. The data was generated using the Daily Egg Production Method (DEPM), a key biological performance indicator for the South Australian Sardine Fishery. This assessment method has been used for stock status evaluation since 1995.
A review document synthesizing literature from the past 10–15 years on amphibian conservation in Canada. It assesses conservation planning, threats, population trends, and genomics resources, noting that 68% of Canadian amphibians are listed at risk. The document was authored by Sara L. Ashpole and last updated in June 2026.
A 2024 review synthesizing literature from the past 10–15 years on amphibian conservation challenges across Canada. The document uses the IUCN Amphibian Conservation Action Plan framework to analyze threats, conservation practices, and data gaps. It was authored by Sara L. Ashpole and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
68% of amphibians in Canada are listed at risk, requiring conservation interventions. This 2024 review synthesizes literature from the past 10–15 years across five themes: conservation planning, threat management, population monitoring, ex-situ techniques, and genomics. It was authored by Sara L. Ashpole and published on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Canada's amphibian populations, where 68% of species are listed at risk, are reviewed against a 2024 global conservation framework. The document synthesizes literature from the past 10–15 years across five themes, including threat management and genetic tools. It was authored by Sara L. Ashpole and published on figshare in June 2026.
68% of amphibian species in Canada are listed as at risk, according to a 2024 review synthesizing literature from the past 10–15 years. The review, authored by Sara L. Ashpole and published on figshare, covers five themes including conservation planning, threat assessment, and genomics resources. It identifies habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change as major threats to amphibian populations across Canadian landscapes.
Canada's amphibian populations are reviewed using a 2024 global conservation framework. The analysis covers 68% of amphibians listed at risk and synthesizes literature from the past 10–15 years across five themes, including threats from habitat loss and climate change. The dataset is a PDF document authored by Sara L. Ashpole, last updated in June 2026.
A 2024 review synthesizes literature from the past 10–15 years on amphibian conservation in Canada. The document, authored by Sara L. Ashpole, identifies challenges and recommendations across five thematic areas, including conservation planning, threat management, and genomics resources. Sixty-eight percent of amphibians in Canada are listed at risk.
55 species of plant microfossils, distributed among 32 genera, were identified from Lower Carboniferous sediments in four boreholes in the Bonaparte Gulf Basin. The palynological flora is dominated by the species Granulatisporites frustulentus, which accounts for 44-83 percent of the spore populations. The data, sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network, describes well-preserved assemblages from Visean-age marine sediments.
Greater Hunter Native Vegetation Mapping v4.0 integrates existing field data, mapping, and new survey data with SPOT 5 and ADS40 imagery interpretation. The NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water produced this geodatabase containing vegetation type and canopy cover layers, field plot localities, species information, and photographs. This dataset was superseded by the State Vegetation Type Map on 24.06.2022 and will be archived after 31st March 2025.
AusTraits is a curated database of plant trait measurements for Australia's flora, standardized from over 300 distinct sources. The database describes over 500 plant traits and more than 34,000 taxa. The project is led by researchers from UNSW Sydney, Western Sydney University, and the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney, with contributions from over 300 individuals.
AusTraits is a curated database containing standardized measurements for plant traits across Australia's flora, assembled from over 250 distinct primary sources. It describes more than 400 plant traits for over 26,000 taxa, harmonized through a reproducible workflow that restructures datasets, renames variables, and changes units and taxon names. The raw data and build code are available on GitHub, supporting reproducible ecological and evolutionary research.
430,000 km² of Western Australia's Canning Basin contains about 10,000 meters of sedimentary rock spanning the Palaeozoic, Mesozoic, and Cainozoic eras. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, describes the basin's structural features and divides its geological sequence into 11 informal intervals, each representing distinct marine transgressions and regressions. The last update was recorded on 2026-06-23.
Nine adult horses were instrumented with intramuscular electrodes for EMG recording during incremental exercise tests. The dataset likely contains electromyographic activity, heart rate, upper airway videoendoscopy, pharyngeal airway pressures, and gait frequency measurements collected at exercise intensities of 50, 80, 90, and 100% of maximum heart rate. This study was conducted by Marta Cercone and approved by the IACUC of Cornell University and the Royal Veterinary College.
Experimental data from a study on the rapid evolutionary adaptation of invasive Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) to local Vibrio spp. pathogens. The dataset likely contains results from exposure experiments comparing two genetically distinct invasion sources in the North Sea, including resistance measurements under different temperature conditions. The data was produced by Carolin C. Wendling of the Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung and is available via paperswithcode.
R code and data accompany a 2023 Functional Ecology manuscript investigating seed dispersal strategies. The dataset likely contains measurements of seed dispersal distance and inter-seed spread for three closely related plant species across seasonal wetland habitats. Courtney L. Van Den Elzen from the University of Colorado Boulder authored the study, which also includes wind tunnel and drop tube tests of seed traits.
