Eight biological surveys conducted between 2005 and 2012 across 89 sites in the Tanami region, central-west Northern Territory. The data, collected by the Central Land Council's Tanami Regional Biodiversity Monitoring program, includes species information from vegetation and fauna surveys during late-dry and late-wet seasons. Survey methods included site descriptions, vegetation transects, bird surveys, small vertebrate trapping, and tracking surveys.
Plasma biomarker and whole-blood transcriptome data from 188 intensive care unit patients with bacterial bloodstream infection. The dataset includes measurements of 24 plasma biomarkers, including syndecan-1 for glycocalyx degradation, and is associated with 30-day mortality outcomes. It was authored by Hui Wang and last updated in June 2026.
Arctic continental shelves are the geographic focus of this dataset, which contains predicted sediment properties and seabed methane emission rates from 18,000 years before present to 2,000 years after present. The data was produced by Kehua You of The University of Texas at Austin for a manuscript submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research - Global Biogeochemical Cycles. It includes results from 8 different simulation scenarios, with predictions extending from the seafloor to 1200 meters depth.
Australian plant records from 97,035 sites, containing frequency and percent cover data extracted from TERN's AEKOS platform as of February 2017. The data aggregates records from seven major ecological survey programs, including the Australian Ground Cover Reference Sites Database and TERN AusPlots Rangelands. Soil sample data from 14 sites across Australia, collected from 2013 onward, is also incorporated.
Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network's Data Discovery provides data on plant species richness, cover, and woody debris from nine study sites in Western Australia. The dataset compares fallow cropland, actively restored old fields, and reference woodlands, with surveys conducted in spring 2017. Measurements include point-intercept plant cover, leaf-litter dry mass, and woody debris dimensions.
The south-eastern coast of Australia, spanning 4500 km, is the focus of this dataset. It maps the spatial and temporal variability of coastal upwelling systems using 14 years of monthly MODIS sea surface temperature data. The study identifies two persistent upwelling systems with distinct seasonal patterns and intensities.
Five separate seafloor-spreading episodes, beginning 155 million years ago, dissected eastern Gondwanaland to form Australia's passive margins. The geological evolution involved protracted processes including rift-graben development 40-50 million years before breakup and postbreakup subsidence driven by lithospheric thermal contraction. This dataset from the Australian Ocean Data Network describes the structural and sedimentary history of these margins.
Interpretation of key seismic profiles around the Australian margin from the Australian Ocean Data Network. The data describes three distinct rift-drift segments with different architectures, including the northwestern/western, southern, and eastern margins. It details geological complexity, sediment thickness, and tectonic episodes from the Permo-Carboniferous to the Cretaceous.
GPS-monitored micro-distribution and dispersal data for the large heath butterfly (Coenonympha tullia) collected over three flight seasons (2020-2022) on a peatland restoration site at Chat Moss, UK. The dataset, created by Andrew Osborne, includes analysis of butterfly locations in relation to plant species abundance to identify critical habitat resource thresholds. It contains files in R, DOCX, and CSV formats totaling 103.5 KB.
Vijay P. Patil of the United States Geological Survey created a polygon shapefile representing habitat selection scenarios for molting waterfowl in the Goose Molting Area of the Teshekpuk Lake Special Area in northern Alaska. The dataset includes polygons with 1-mile or 3-mile buffers designed to achieve specific population coverage levels for Pacific Black Brant and Canada Geese, incorporating existing Bureau of Land Management restriction areas. It was generated for the NPR-A Integrated Activity Plan/Environmental Impact Statement in 2020.
Approximately 1300 million-year-old microfossils from the McMinn Formation shales in Australia's Roper Group. The dataset, provided by the Australian Ocean Data Network, includes an assemblage of algal cells, filaments, and large acritarchs preserved with low thermal metamorphism. The flora's advanced state for its geological age and the organic matter's potential for oil generation are noted.
From 1996 to 2010, archival data storage tags were deployed on 107 individual Atlantic cod and European plaice in the North Sea and English Channel. The dataset provides bivariate time series of daily horizontal and vertical movements for each fish, with time series lengths varying from 40 to 399 days. Daily geolocation estimates are also included.
October and November 2017 data from 22 parallel demersal fishing trawls off southwest England. The dataset contains numbers and lengths of retained catch, and a sample of discarded catch for select species including haddock, grey gurnard, whiting, megrim, and Northern squid. It was collected by the Government Digital Service to explore the effect of artificial light on catches.
UK waters feature mapped spawning and nursery grounds for selected fish species, based on analyses complementing the 1998 'Fisheries Sensitivity Maps in British Waters'. The data provides supporting evidence and incorporates more recent information available since the original maps were produced. The dataset was published by the Government Digital Service via the EU Open Data platform.
14 commercially important fish species' spawning and nursery grounds mapped for British waters. The data was prepared for a 1998 report by fisheries laboratories and industry associations. It describes sensitivities under five headings including spawning areas, nursery areas, and fishing effort.
69 sampling stations were surveyed by MAFF research vessels between 1992 and 1996. The dataset compares Animalia biodiversity in the North Sea, English Channel, and Celtic Seas, with samples collected using a 2-m Lowestoft beam trawl. Data includes species found at each station, along with haul positions and sample volume estimates.
Survey results of active gull and tern breeding colonies on the North Arm of Great Slave Lake, Northwest Territories, collected between 1986 and 2010. The dataset was compiled by the Canadian Wildlife Service and includes species counts, nest numbers, clutch size, chick presence, and habitat characteristics. Data were primarily gathered through ground surveys by boat between mid-June and early July.
A 2013 study from the Great Barrier Reef quantifies deep reef habitats. The dataset indicates that 61% of the seabed on submerged banks (25,600 km²) is deeper than near-sea-surface reefs, with over half (around 14,000 km²) modelled as suitable for coral. It was published by researchers including Peter T. Harris and hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Zooplankton abundance and distribution data were collected during the 2021 TEMPO (Trends in Euphausiids off Mawson, Predators, and Oceanography) voyage aboard the R/V Investigator in the East Antarctic sector of the Southern Ocean. Sampling occurred along the Mawson coast between 29 January and 24 March 2021 using a Rectangular Midwater Trawl (RMT 1+8) plankton net system. The dataset supports investigations into Antarctic zooplankton community structure, species distributions, and ecosystem dynamics.
Three plant species—Calluna vulgaris, Vaccinium myrtillus, and Empetrum nigrum—were measured for photosynthesis at the Climoor experimental field site in Clocaenog Forest. Data includes ambient light readings and light response curve measurements, collected infrequently from 2001 to 2003 for Calluna and Vaccinium, and only in 2001 for Empetrum. The dataset provides a record of photosynthetic activity for dominant species in a heathland ecosystem under experimental conditions.
