World Register of Marine Species Underwater Sonifery Data Repository

A working group from the Global Library of Underwater Biological Sounds effort collaborated with the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) to create a global inventory of species categorized by known underwater sonifery. The inventory is provided as an ecological trait on WoRMS (MarineSpecies.org), where it may be regularly updated. The purpose of this Borealis dataset is to store spreadsheet versions of any updates to the data on WoRMS. The methods used to create the dataset are described in a peer-reviewed article (Looby et al. 2023. Scientific Data. 10:892. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-023-02745-4). The original dataset is available in figshare (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.c.6704481.v1) to serve as a permanent record of what was peer-reviewed and will therefore not be updated.
