Morphological and morphometric data on the axial skeletons of vertebrates from museum specimens
Computed tomography (CT) scans of 212 museum specimens, including mostly cartilaginous and bony fishes as well as several reptiles and amphibians, were obtained to quantitatively study vertebral column morphology and regionalisation. The specimens are housed in the...
Invertebrate herbivory data across a natural soil temperature gradient in Iceland from May-July 2017
This is a dataset of environmental data, vegetation cover, and community- and species-level invertebrate herbivory, sampled at 14 experimental soil plots in the Hengill geothermal valley, Iceland, from May to July 2017. The plots span a temperature gradient of 5-35...
Bird survey data from the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, 2015-2017
The data contains bird species records from the Vale do Paraíba and Serra do Mar regions in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Bird species were surveyed using point counts between December 2015 and February 2017, with four temporal replicates per point for which the number...
Antibiotic susceptibility tests and resistance genes in Escherichia coli from humans, poultry and environmental samples in urban and rural Bangladesh (2017)
Antibiotic susceptibility tests are presented as the zone of inhibition using the disc-diffusion method, and categorized as resistant, intermediate or susceptible. DNA samples from antibiotic-resistant bacteria were analysed for the presence or absence of resistance...
Tree canopy cover and height data at 10m resolution for the North Pennines and Dales landscape, northern England, 2023
This dataset provides information on tree canopy cover percentage and mean canopy height, both at a 10m resolution, for the North Pennines & Dales in northern England. The data was derived from LiDAR analysis, which was used to create a vegetation height model for the...
Water depth of the South Saskatchewan River, Canada, 2015-2017, measured by single beam echo sounder
Data were collected in 2015 and 2016 to provide information about spatial variations in water depth and river bed morphology (including bedform height) on the South Saskatchewan River, Canada. Water depth measurements were obtained with a Navisound NS 215 system and...
Soil treatment data from Sourhope field experiment site, Scotland, 1999-2002 [NERC Soil Biodiversity Programme]
This data set details the range of treatments applied to experimental plots at a field site at Sourhope, Scotland, between 1999 and 2004. The data can be used in conjunction with other experimental data sets from the NERC Soil Biodiversity Thematic Programme site as...
Macroinvertebrate composition of Welsh upland rivers in response to organic matter addition (2013)
These data are macroinvertebrate composition and size in eight Welsh upland rivers with contrasting land-use, moorland and exotic conifer, in response to riparian deciduous leaf addition. Eight sampling reaches were chosen at two sites, Llyn Brianne (4 reaches) and...
Pollinator effectiveness in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) in relation to behavioural and morphological characteristics
The number of pollen grains delivered to stigmas in a single visit by flower visitors (from insect orders Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera) to oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) in southern England. Behavioural and morphological data were also recorded for a subset...
Survival and persistence of Salmonella spp. on waste plastic and glass under laboratory conditions simulant of a peri-urban waste pile
This dataset contains information relating to the survival and persistence of Salmonella spp. on plastic and glass, under conditions simulant of a peri-urban waste pile. The data encompass bacterial strain identity, material type, timepoints (days), temperature (°C),...
Python code for building and training a generative adversarial network for demographic inferences from genomic data
A collection of python and bash scripts to implement, train and deploy a generative adversarial network for population genetic inferences. The networks have been tuned to be deployed to genomic data from Anopheles mosquitoes. However, the general framework can be applied...
Topsoil physico-chemical properties from the UKCEH Countryside Survey, Great Britain, 2023
This dataset consists of measures of topsoil (0-15 cm) physico-chemical properties from soils sampled from 150 x 1-km squares across Great Britain in 2023 as part of a rolling soil and vegetation monitoring program of 500 1-km squares repeated every 5 years. The properties...
Behavioural experiments in the laboratory with stickleback fish - Fish personality data
The data consist of eight datasets on stickleback fish personality data. Data are on catch order, mean time spent out of cover, proportion of time fish spent out of cover, sex differences for the catch order, sex differences for the catch order on two occasions and...
Peat properties from the Flow Country, Scotland, 2020, following wildfire in 2019
Location of peat cores and peat properties including moisture, bulk density, ash and organic matter content for short cores (50 cm) collected 10 month post-fire in high, medium and low severity areas within a drained and a near natural area in the footprint of a severe...
Surface temperature, surface oxygen, water clarity, water chemistry and phytoplankton chlorophyll a data from Esthwaite Water, UK, 2019-2020
This is part of an ongoing long-term monitoring dataset of surface temperature, surface oxygen, water clarity, water chemistry and phytoplankton chlorophyll a from fortnightly sampling at Esthwaite Water in Cumbria, England that began in 1945 for some variables. The...
Biodiversity and environmental conditions along public walking routes in three UK towns (Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes), 2014
The data describe a set of field surveys to assess conditions along public walking routes. A spectrum of urban forms was identified in the towns of Bedford, Luton and Milton Keynes, in the UK. A sample of these were surveyed on foot to measure biodiversity and environmental...
