S-Index Interpretation
The S-Index (Sharing Index) is a comprehensive metric that represents the cumulative impact of all your datasets. It is calculated as the sum of Dataset Index scores across all your claimed datasets.
What it means:
- A higher S-index indicates greater overall impact of your datasets relative to typical datasets in their fields of research
- The S-Index grows as you add more datasets or as existing datasets gain more citations and mentions
- It provides a single number to track your research data impact over time
Current S-Index: 164.8 (sum of 209 datasets Dataset Index scores)

Datasets
Data on 366 pigs who participated in the Backtest (personality test) at 2 weeks of age and 3 times a Human Approach Test (novelty / fear test) at 6 weeks of age. From the Human Approach Test, leadership was determined based on the animal that was the first to touch the human.

Dataset of social behaviour of pigs between 4 and 12 weeks of age, with a focus on social nosing, scored live and from video. Behaviours include amongst others nearest neighbour, nose-body contact, nose-head contact, snout-snout proximity, snout-snout contact, aggression, mounting, feeding synchronization, play. For each behaviour the initiator and recipient is noted to allow for Social Network Analysis.

Biodiversity in human-dominated landscapes is declining, but evidence-based conservation targets to guide international policies for such landscapes are lacking. We present a framework for informing habitat conservation policies based on the enhancement of habitat quantity and quality and define thresholds of habitat quantity at which it becomes effective to also prioritize habitat quality. We applied this framework to pollinators, an important part of agroecosystem biodiversity, by synthesizing 59 studies from 19 countries. Given low habitat quality, hoverflies had the lowest threshold at 6% semi-natural habitat cover, followed by solitary bees (16%), bumble bees (18%), and butterflies (37%). These figures represent minimum habitat thresholds in agricultural landscapes, but when habitat quantity is restricted, marked increases in quality are required to reach similar outcomes.

There is a global shortage of long-term, controlled experiments assessing the effectiveness of land-use interventions, especially in peatland ecosystems. These habitats play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation and climate regulation, yet forest-to-bog restoration remains poorly understood and under-evaluated at scale. We aimed to test the effectiveness of different restoration techniques in converting non-native conifer plantations back to functioning bog ecosystems, using a rigorous, replicated, long-term experimental framework to generate robust evidence to support peatland conservation and climate policy. At a 21,500 ha nature reserve in the Flow Country UNESCO World Heritage Site (northern Scotland), we established two large-scale replicated experiments (2–8 ha blocks) using a Before-After-Control-Impact (BACI) design. Treatments compared “standard” and “enhanced” approaches to hydrological restoration and tree removal, alongside intact bog and forestry controls. Hydrological and vegetation responses were monitored over a 6–7-year period following intervention. Enhanced restoration techniques led to more rapid recovery of bog-like conditions, including raised and stabilised water tables and the re-establishment of characteristic vegetation assemblages. These outperformed standard restoration methods and demonstrated significant ecological gains within a relatively short timeframe for forest-to-bog conversion. Despite the long timescales typically required for peatland restoration, our results show that enhanced methods can significantly accelerate early recovery. These findings demonstrate the importance of experimental rigour in restoration science and provide critical insights into effective peatland management.

A dataset of positive social interactions between pigs. All pen attributes file describes the physical environment experienced for each pig. All pen behaviours describes the social interactions and initiator and recipient identity. Codes for the various column headings are included as notes or in the heading text.

Dataset of affective state measures of commercial pigs in contrasting housing conditions in 2x2 design. Housing conditions were commercially representative levels of environmental enrichment versus enhanced enrichment (deep straw, more space, toys) and experience versus lack of experience of pre-weaning socialisation with an adjacent litter of piglets. Affective state measurements were judgement bias tests and attention bias tests. Affective state measures were made before and after experiencing an encounter with an unfamiliar pig. A novel object test was also performed once for each animal as a measure of neophobia. Weight gain of the animals is also provided between birth and 13 weeks of age.
