  • These are the datasets used to create all figures included in: Lilly et al. (in review). A Global Review of Pyrosomes: Shedding light on the ocean’s elusive gelatinous ‘fire-bodies’. The review presents a comprehensive global description of the body of current knowledge on pyrosomes, a zooplanktonic tunicate taxon closely related to salps, doliolids, and appendicularians.

    For review analyses, we used pyrosome observations and associated information from literature-published studies and four databases: NOAA COPEPOD Urochordates database (NOAA, 2022; https://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/copepod/atlas/html/taxatlas_4350000.html), BCO-DMO Jellyfish Database Initiative (JeDI; Condon et al., 2014; https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/526852), Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF; https://doi.org/10.15468/dl.a8phvp), and Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS; https://obis.org/taxon/137216). We matched pyrosome observations to corresponding satellite-measured sea surface temperature (NOAA Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature, v2, high-resolution, https://psl.noaa.gov/data/gridded/data.noaa.oisst.v2.highres.html) and chlorophyll-a (MODIS-AQUA, 4 km^2 resolution, Melin, 2013; http://data.europa.eu/89h/10161412-a76c-42b0-b4e1-5fcccdc412b2). The files included in this metadata record have been subsetted from all original file sources. Our subsetted files are designed to run with the associated MATLAB scripts to recreate all manuscript files.

    We include seven MATLAB scripts: 1) A four-part script to clean up all pyrosome observations, divide to species level, and remove duplicate records from multiple databases and within each database, and 2) Three standalone scripts to plot Figs. 1, 2, and 3.
