RV Investigator Voyage IN2016_T02 recorded seabird and incidental marine mammal sightings during a transit from Hobart to Sydney in May 2016. The dataset contains 393 observations of 33 bird species, 3 cetaceans, and one seal, with species linked to the World Register of Marine Species. Data was published to the Ocean Biodiversity Information System by the Australian Ocean Data Network.
Sydney Harbour sediment samples were collected in August 2003 by Geoscience Australia and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation. The analysis aims to groundtruth multibeam sonar surveys and assess how sediment physical properties influence acoustic backscatter for benthic habitat classification. This work is part of the Coastal CRC Coastal Water Habitat Mapping Project.
2012 temporal coverage. This dataset contains modelled habitat patches for the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) region, identified through an effective habitat area analysis using 15m grid cells. The ACT connectivity mapping was undertaken by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, building upon a report by the Fenner School of Environment and Society, Australian National University. Patches are defined by polygons that include adjoining grid cells in the highest 20% for spatial context, categorized by size.
4,866 species occurrence records for 109 taxa of epibenthic invertebrates and submerged aquatic vegetation were collected via drop camera photo systems. The data were gathered by Fisheries and Oceans Canada during research surveys from June to October between 2019 and 2022 along the north shore from Portneuf-sur-Mer to Sept-Îles. This work supports the Ocean Protection Plan's baseline program for characterizing coastal marine ecosystems.
The Australian Continuous Plankton Recorder survey provides in-situ phytoplankton abundance data to establish a long-term baseline for ocean health. It is a joint project of CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere and the Australian Antarctic Division, funded by the Integrated Marine Observing System. The data supports mapping biodiversity, detecting algal blooms, and validating satellite remote sensing.
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.
