Shelf ecosystems along the U.S. Atlantic Coastal Plain prior to and during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum KU Leuven
The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is the most pronounced climate event of the early Paleogene. It is characterized by negative δ18O and δ13C excursions recorded in sedimentary archives and a transient disruption of the marine biosphere. Bulk carbonate and foraminiferal δ13C records from Paleocene-Eocene core sections from the U.S. Atlantic Coastal Plain show an additional small, but distinct δ13C excursion below the onset of the PETM, coined the “pre-onset excursion” (POE). This study focuses on the South Dover Bridge (SDB) core in Maryland, where the Paleocene-Eocene transition is ...

Data from: Wind-associated detours promote seasonal migratory connectivity in a flapping flying long-distance avian migrant Universiteit Hasselt
1. It is essential to gain knowledge about the causes and extent of migratory connectivity between stationary periods of migrants to further the understanding of processes affecting populations, and to allow efficient implementation of conservation efforts throughout the annual cycle. Avian migrants likely use optimal routes with respect to mode of locomotion, orientation and migration strategy, influenced by external factors such as wind and topography. In self-powered flapping flying birds any increases in fuel loads are associated with added flight costs. Energy-minimizing migrants are ...
Plio-Pleistocene Perth Basin water temperatures and Leeuwin Current dynamics (Indian Ocean) derived from oxygen and clumped isotope paleothermometry Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This R script produces Figures 3 - 8 presented in De Vleeschouwer et al., Climate of the Past Discussions. All datasets that underpin these figures are also made available.
Global data set of long-term summertime vertical temperature profiles in 153 lakes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Rachel M. Pilla
Climate change and other anthropogenic stressors have led to long-term changes in the thermal structure, including surface temperatures, deepwater temperatures, and vertical thermal gradients, in many lakes around the world. Though many studies highlight warming of surface water temperatures in lakes worldwide, less is known about long-term trends in full vertical thermal structure and deepwater temperatures, which have been changing less consistently in both direction and magnitude. Here, we present a globally-expansive data set of summertime in-situ vertical temperature profiles from 153 ...
Plastic clean-up and prevention overview Universiteit Gent
Giulia Leone, Ine Moulaert, Lisa Devriese, Matthias Sandra, Ine Pauwels, Peter Goethals, Gert Everaert, Ana Catarino
In this dataset 124 plastic remediation technologies are listed with 29 of their key characteristics. The dataset has been compiled by merging a systematic literature review performed on the 29th of June 2022 on the electronic database Scopus and a non-systematic review.
UMS-euthanasia and nursing students' attitudes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Background: There is an increasing debate on euthanasia worldwide (e.g. Portugal), with some countries, such as Belgium, altering the legal framework. The euthanasia legislation in certain countries notes that 'unbearable suffering' of a mental nature may also be considered grounds for euthanasia. If such legislation becomes standard practice in the field, the consequences for healthcare workers would be significant. Since nursing students are the nurses of the future, it is important to examine their attitudes towards euthanasia due to unbearable mental suffering (UMS-euthanasia). ...
Florient - a database dealing with historic wild plant occurrences Universiteit Gent
Paul Van Den Brempt, Thijs Lambrecht, Dimitri Brosens
Florient - a database dealing with historic wild plant occurrences is an occurrence dataset published by Ghent University and the Belgian Biodiversity Platform. The FLORIENT database is based on the herbarium of Charles Van Hoorebeke (1790-1821), in which he recorded nearly all wild plants that occurred in the province of East Flanders. A prospectus of his planned publication about this, the "Flore de la Flandre Orientale", appeared in 1821. That same year he died. As a result of which his work never appeared in print and the data were not available. Frans Roucel (1765-1831), a contemporary ...
Replication Data for: Dormivit et resurgit. A ‘language-ecology’ approach to the diachrony of the Latin ingressive perfect Universiteit Gent
Dataset includes annotated corpus data from Latin texts from the 3rd c. BCE until the 6th c. CE. Attestations of 'perfectum' stem forms of a selection of common stative verbs were extracted from major online corpora (about 14.000 data points); a random sample (n = 234) that represents all text types and time periods as evenly as possible was then subjected to a close-reading analysis in order to ascertain the attestation rate of 'ingressive' meaning with the target observations. Only the data points that were annotated in full are included in the current dataset. (2023-08-18)
