This dataset is form the study:  Sciacca V., Caruso F.,Beranzoli L., Chierici F., De Domenico E., Embriaco D., Favali P., Giovanetti G., Larosa G., Marinaro G., Papale E., Pavan G., Pellegrino C., Pulvirenti S., Simeone F., Viola S., and G. Riccobene. "Annual Acoustic Presence of Fin Whale (Balaenoptera physalus) Offshore Eastern Sicily, Central Mediterranean Sea." PLoS ONE 10(11): e0141838. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0141838 The archives labeled YYYYMM_Spectrograms.zip contain the data from each  month of passive acoustic recording -MM- of the years -YYYY- 2012 and 2013. Data consist of the spectrograms (1-50 Hz) of 10-min audio recordings, in PNG format files. These data were used in the cited study to verify the presence of fin whale calls. The archive labeled "NoiseData.zip" consists of two matrix (ASCII format) containing the recorded values of acoustic noise within the fin whale call frequency band.

ITS1 metabarcoding revealing Phytophthora diversity in anthropized and natural ecosystems in Sicily, Italy

This dataset on Zenodo contains the raw sequencing data for: <a href="https://doi.org/10.3390/jof8040330">La Spada et al. (2022) DNA Metabarcoding and Isolation by Baiting Complement Each Other in Revealing Phytophthora Diversity in Anthropized and Natural Ecosystems</a>. This a subset of 192 demultiplexed Illumina MiSeq raw sequencing samples run at the James Hutton Institute in January 2020, consisting of two 96-well plates labelled with the Illumina A and D multiplexing kits. There are 61 pairs of raw gzipped compressed FASTQ files (122 files), provided as a 930MB gzipped compressed tar-ball. From the D multiplexing kit, there are 27 Nature Reserve (NR) samples, 16 Botanical Garden (BG) samples, and 6 managed Citrus Orchard (CO) samples containing Phytophthora targeted ITS1 marker sequences, and 6 synthetic controls (prefix GL1D) which should have contained only four known synthetic sequences. Additionally included are the 6 synthetic controls (prefix GL1A) from the A multiplexing kit, which were clean. The filenames start with the sample name, followed by something like DH03_S183_L001_R1_001.fastq.gz where DH03 indicates well H03 on the 96-well plate labelled with the D multiplexing set, S183 is the MiSeq sample number (from 1 to 192), and R1 (or R2) indicate the Illumina forward (or reverse) paired read files.
