    <p>This dataset is a growing collection of high-frequency echolocation calls recorded from Australian bats across a wide geographic range and over multiple decades. The calls have been collected by various bat researchers, contributors and collaborators from across Australia. Taxonomic updates have been applied where possible, such as the reclassification of species from <em>Mormopterus</em> to <em>Ozimops</em>. Users should note that some audio files may contain calls from multiple species, and in certain cases, only one of the present species has been identified.</p> <p>The collection includes bat call files in .zc and .wav formats, encompassing both identified and unidentified calls. Each call file contains embedded information, such as collection date, GPS location, species identification (where available), and contributor details, which is extracted and used to create searchable filter options in TERN Ecoacoustic Recordings. This enables users to efficiently search for, explore, and download call files based on specific criteria through the dashboard.</p> <p>Data have been gathered from diverse environments including national parks, research stations, and conservation areas throughout Australia.</p> <p>The earliest recordings date back to 1989, and the dataset continues to expand. This metadata record serves as an open library for Australian bat call data, with future submissions from additional contributors expected to be added over time.</p>

    The datafile contains the composition and abundance of airborne pollen in Onehunga, Auckland, New Zealand. The data was collected for the period between October 1989 to April 1990 as part of a nationwide survey of airborne pollen. This forms part of a study of the Australian Aerobiology working group (Haberle, Bowman, Newnham, Johnston, Beggs, Buters, Campbell, Erbas, Godwin, Green, Heute, Jaggard, Medek, Murray, Newbiggin, Thibaudon, Vicendese, Williamson, Davies “The macroecology of airborne pollen in Australian and New Zealand urban areas”).

    <p>Four paired transects were set up early in the Reserve history to monitor the spread of saltbush (<em>Atriplex</em> spp.) into the reserve across the eastern and southern boundaries. These were read regularly for the first few years but data from them are not available digitally. The transects were reactivated in 1989 and measurements are provided for four occasions: 1989, 2003, 2008 and 2014. Species are identified as <em>Atriplex vesicaria</em>, <em>A. stipitata</em>, or if uncertain as A. sp., using the classifications of the 'Census of South Australian Plants, Algae and Fungi' (2024*).</p> <p>This is version 2.0 of the Koonamore Saltbush Transect Survey data release.</p>
