Dataset: A database of near-field head-related transfer functions based on measurements with a laser spark source

<p>This is a database of near-field head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) of an artificial head, measured at four distances (0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 m), with 49 positions recorded at each distance, for a total of 196 measurement points. The HRTFs were recorded using an acoustic pulse created by a laser-induced breakdown of air (LIB), which realizes a close to ideal, massless, monopole sound source. The repository contains the original measurement data (raw_data.zip), the derived HRTFs both with (NF_LIB_HRTF_LFE.sofa)&nbsp;and without (NF_LIB_HRTF_measured.sofa)&nbsp;a low-frequency extension (LFE)&nbsp;applied, as well as the MATLAB code used to process the measurement data and to apply the LFE (LIB_HRTF_DB.zip).&nbsp;The database&nbsp;is made publicly available to support future research into nearby sound localization, and virtual/augmented reality applications.</p> <p>Please see the accompanying paper for further details: Marschall et al.

Database of fields of education, with explanatory note

<p>In addition to respondents&rsquo; highest educational qualification, some surveys also collect data&nbsp;on their main field of education. Current measurement practice involves either a closed&nbsp;question with highly aggregated response categories, which are difficult to use for&nbsp;respondents, or an open question, requiring expensive post-coding. Therefore, a&nbsp;measurement tool for fields of education was developed in the SERISS-project in work&nbsp;package 8, Task 8.3. In deliverable D8.9 we provide a database of fields of education and&nbsp;training in 34 languages, including the definition of a search tree interface to facilitate&nbsp;navigation of categories for respondents. All 120 standard categories and classification&nbsp;codes are taken from UNESCO&#39;s International Standard Classification of Education for&nbsp;Fields of Education and Training (ISCED-F). For most languages, detailed 3-digit information&nbsp;is available. The database, including a live search feature, is available at the surveycodings&nbsp;website at https://surveycodings.org/articles/codings/fields-of-education. The search tree can&nbsp;be used for respondents&rsquo; self-identification of fields of education and training in computer-assisted surveys. The live search feature can also be used for post-coding open answers in&nbsp;already collected data.&nbsp;</p>

Biological invasions: a field synopsis, systematic review, and database of the literature

Species introductions of anthropogenic origins are a major aspect of rapid ecological change globally. Research on biological invasions has generated literature on many different aspects of this phenomenon. This literature is enormous and has grown rapidly since the mid‐twentieth century. Therefore, we created this dataset in order to describe and categorize some aspects of this literature, to better understand what has been studied and what we know, mapping well‐studied areas and important gaps. To do so, we employed the techniques of systematic reviewing widely adopted in other scientific disciplines. We identified 2398 relevant studies in a field synopsis of the biological invasions literature. The purpose of the field synopsis was to map and categorize the scope of available information (and what is not known) from the literature addressing a fundamental understanding of biological invasions. We then examined 1537 papers in greater detail in a systematic review. The systematic review addressed the state of our knowledge about the mechanisms that permit species to invade novel environments. We carried this out by attempting to identify and characterize the literature, including what hypotheses have been tested, and what organisms and systems have been studied. A secondary goal of our work was to create a publicly accessible database of this literature for future research.

Data from: Developing a database of Australian grasshopper occurrences from historic field survey notebooks spanning 54 years (Orthoptera: Acrididae, Morabidae, Pyrgomorphidae, Tetrigidae)

<p>The baseline distribution data for all species of a given group in a region can provide fundamental insights into biogeographic questions about historic patterns of species richness, population trends, and extinction. Grasshoppers are one major group of insects for which a continent-wide perspective on their geographic distribution can be obtained. This is because they were extensively surveyed in Australia for 54 years (1936-1989) as part of Commonwealth expeditions to obtain specimens for the Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC). Field notebooks recorded from those surveys, under the direction of ANIC curator and director K. H. L. Key, form the principal source of historic distribution records for grasshoppers in Australia. We digitized all 223 notebooks (2486 pages) and transcribed all the field trips conducted in Western Australia (WA) and Tasmania (47 notebooks, 590 pages). We then carefully geocoded all sampling sites of the transcribed notebooks, following the odometer readings and descriptions of routes from a suitable reference point using historic topographic maps and Google Earth. In total, we extracted 8975 geographic coordinates for 477 species having a confirmed or putative taxonomic name of (only 170 of these species have been formally described). We found that species richness varied spatially, with highest richness in arid interior and north of WA. Historic grasshopper surveys were non-randomly distributed across both WA and Tasmania with the highest survey intensity around coastal regions. Variation was observed among surveyors in terms of the number of species detected per site, between-site distance, and the season of survey being conducted. Overall, however, the dataset is among the most comprehensive continent-wide surveys of Australian invertebrates and will greatly facilitate future work on their ecology, biogeography, conservation, and responses to environmental change.</p>

Above- and below-ground net primary productivity: a field-based global database of grasslands

<p>Net primary productivity (NPP) over global grasslands is crucial for understanding the terrestrial carbon cycling and for the assessments of wild herbivores food security. During the past few decades, numerous field investigations have been conducted to estimate grassland NPP since the measuring criterion released by the International Biological Program. However, a comprehensive NPP database, particularly for belowground NPP (BNPP), in global grasslands is rare to date. Here, field NPP measurements from 438 publications (1957–2018) in global grasslands were collected, critically filtered, and incorporated in a comprehensive global database with observations for aboveground NPP (ANPP), BNPP, total NPP (TNPP), and BNPP fraction (fBNPP). Associated information on geographical locations, climatic records, grassland types, land use patterns, manipulations subjected to manipulative experiments, sampling year of study sites as well as NPP measurement methods are also documented. This database included 2985 entries from 1785 study sites. Among them, 806 entries contained paired data of ANPP and BNPP, resulting in the 806 fBNPP data. The study sites encompassed global grasslands with latitudinal range of 54.5° S~78.9° N, longitudinal range of 157.4° W~175.8° E, and altitudes from 0 to 5168 m above sea level, covering broad climatic gradients (-17.6 to 28.8 °C in mean annual temperature and 63 to 2052 mm in mean annual precipitation). This global database is the world's largest paired data of ANPP and BNPP field measurements in grasslands. It can be used to study the spatio-temporal patterns of NPP and its allocation, evaluate the responses of above- and below-ground carbon components to future global changes, and validate the NPP estimation by empirical or process-based models in global grasslands. The database can be freely used for non-commercial applications. We kindly request users cite this data paper when using the database, respecting all the hard work during data compilation.</p>
