A 48 km2 area of the Vestfold Hills nearshore environment was surveyed using multibeam echosounder and towed underwater video. The dataset results from an integrated analysis comparing top-down and bottom-up habitat mapping approaches. This research provides a spatial framework for environmental management and a baseline for assessing change in the Antarctic marine environment.
A framework to derive estimates of potential habitat condition for pelagic and epibenthic megafauna and benthic infauna in all of Australia's known submarine canyons. The methodology was developed by researchers from Geoscience Australia and published in Progress in Oceanography in 2018. The dataset likely contains scores or metrics evaluating habitat potential based on geomorphic and oceanographic heterogeneity.
Four weeks of repeated behavioral trials on juvenile Amazon mollies reared with or without a visible predator. The dataset accompanies a study on how early-life predator exposure shapes behavioral development and individual variation under genetically and environmentally standardized conditions. Data includes activity, feeding duration, and visits to a feeding spot, compiled by Ulrike Scherer.
A case study from northern Australia demonstrates a methodology for quantifying uncertainties in marine habitat mapping. The study calculates and maps uncertainties from extrapolating bio-physical associations, interpolating physical data, and applying cluster analysis. The data is provided by Geoscience Australia Data and was last updated on 2026-05-14.
Geoscience Australia and the Australian Institute of Marine Science collected backscatter data for the Arafura Marine Park from November 2-15, 2020. The survey built baseline information for benthic habitats to support a 10-year environmental monitoring plan. The dataset contains two 32-bit geotiff backscatter mosaics for the Money Shoal and Pillar Bank areas.
Flower-Insect Timed Count data from the UK Pollinator Monitoring Scheme (PoMS) covering 2017 to 2023. The dataset contains counts of insects landing on target flowers within a defined quadrat over ten minutes, collected by both public volunteers and PoMS staff. UK PoMS is coordinated by UKCEH with multiple delivery and steering partners including conservation trusts and government agencies.
A report from the Australian Ocean Data Network analyzes marine biodiversity data from two regions to assess consistency among sampling gear. The study reviews multiple gear types and directly analyzes data from Joseph Bonaparte Gulf and Icelandic waters. It investigates biodiversity patterns in relation to environmental variables like depth, geomorphology, and substrate.
South Australian nearshore benthic habitats are documented in this point dataset. It contains observations of habitats like seagrass, macroalgae, and reef collected from video drops during field work from 2007 to 2011. The data was produced by the Benthic Habitat Mapping project undertaken by DENR and is hosted by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Experimental data supports a study on how grassland age and local adaptation shape drought resilience in the common grass Briza media. The dataset includes results from mesocosm experiments combining soils and genotypes from grasslands last cultivated 28–300 years ago. It was authored by Yuying Jing and last updated on 2026-04-19.
261 voucher specimens were collected during a marine survey from Darwin to Cairns between 15-24 October 2012. The Australian Ocean Data Network published the post-survey report, focusing on sessile invertebrates like sponges and corals for biodiversity and biodiscovery research. Sampling targeted two areas previously mapped by Geoscience Australia, using an ROV and benthic sled.
A global dataset records over 702 mammal species kept as pets, including 300 threatened taxa. The data, compiled by Hyago Keslley Lucena Soares and last updated in May 2026, shows strong phylogenetic clustering within Primates, Carnivora, and Rodentia. It likely reflects research availability from at least 65 countries.
702 mammal species recorded as pets, including 300 threatened taxa, across at least 65 countries. The dataset, created by Hyago Keslley Lucena Soares and last updated in May 2026, shows strong phylogenetic clustering among primates, carnivores, and rodents. It supports policy and awareness efforts regarding the conservation risks of wild pet ownership.
A 2026 methodological study by Soeon Ahn presents a species distribution modeling framework for data-deficient marine environments. It uses whale shark occurrences in Korean waters (n=33) as a case study to develop a Long-term Inverse-Weighted pseudo-absence generation method. The framework is designed to support proactive marine conservation under data scarcity.
2022 forest structure inventory data for old growth mangroves on the Amapá coast in northern Brazil. The dataset includes diameter at breast height (DBH) and tree height measurements used to assess total ecosystem carbon stocks near the Amazon river mouth. It was authored by Angelo Fraga Bernardino and shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
41 CTD deployments collected by the RV Investigator during voyage IN2025_V06 from October 10 to November 14, 2025. Data includes pressure, conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, PAR, fluorescence, chlorophyll, and turbidity measurements. The processed data were quality-controlled and archived by CSIRO's National Collections and Marine Infrastructure Information and Data Centre.
200 FLUXNET2015 sites provide half-hourly eddy covariance measurements used to derive four key carbon–water coupling parameters (α, β, γ, WUEmax). The dataset, authored by cheng Yi and last updated in 2026, contains the complete analysis workflow for studying spatiotemporal patterns, trends, and environmental drivers across global biomes. It is a 1.5 GB repository organized into seven sequential analytical modules.
Morphometric data for 386 specimens of the catfish genus Astroblepus from the Esmeraldas River basin in Ecuador. The dataset was created by Kevin P. Chugá-Puetate and last updated in April 2026, supporting an integrative taxonomy study combining geometric morphometrics and DNA barcoding. It was used to assess species diversity, revealing seven evolutionary lineages and two potentially new species.
395 specimens of Andean catfish from the genus Astroblepus were analyzed using DNA barcoding and geometric morphometrics. The data, created by Kevin P. Chugá-Puetate and last updated in 2026, reveals seven evolutionary lineages, exceeding previously known diversity in the Esmeraldas River basin of Ecuador. This integrative taxonomy approach identified cryptic species and suggested possible synonymies.
395 specimens of the genus Astroblepus from the Esmeraldas River basin in Ecuador were analyzed using DNA barcoding and geometric morphometrics. The study identified seven evolutionary lineages, exceeding the five previously recognized species, and revealed two cryptic lineages within A. cyclopus. This dataset, created by Kevin P. Chugá-Puetate and last updated in April 2026, supports taxonomic revision and conservation planning.
The Mexican Southern Altiplano is the geographic focus of this dataset, which supports a study on improving biodiversity estimates. It contains primary and secondary data from three sources: presence-only records, stacked species distribution models, and empirical checklists from protected areas. The dataset, created by Alfredo Esparza-Orozco and last updated in May 2026, facilitates analysis of community properties like alpha and beta diversity across five spatial scales.
