Welcome
Within the Biocean5D project, WP3 (from data to knowledge) delivered global spatial projections of plankton and fish biodiversity (i.e., GOOS EOVs) through the CEPHALOPOD habitat modelling pipeline from heterogeneous biological observations including traditional net samples, quantitative imaging and metagenomics.
1 - Global Marine Plankton Biodiversity EBVs
This dataset collection provides global estimates of marine plankton biodiversity in the epipelagic (0 - 50m) layer, derived from four complementary biological observation types: species occurrences, abundance, biomass, and metagenomic data. From plankton observations, biodiversity patterns were modelled using the CEPHALOPOD habitat-modelling framework to generate monthly global Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) across multiple Hill diversity metrics, observation types. The collection enables consistent comparisons of marine biodiversity patterns across observational approaches, with explicit uncertainty estimation.

2 - Global fish biodiversity EBVs
This dataset collection provides global estimates of marine fish distribution in the epipelagic (0 - 50m) layer, derived from species occurrences. From fish observations, distributions patterns were modelled using the CEPHALOPOD habitat-modelling framework to generate 3,642 global, monthly species distribution outputs. The associated species richness patterns, computed from those outputs is ongoing work.
