Data from a bathymetric mapping project conducted in seven Israeli coastal micro-estuaries (Lachish, Sorek, Yarkon, Alexander, Hadera, Taninim, and Kishon) is presented. The data were collected by rowing a kayak along an S-shaped track through the estuaries. An echosounder equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit were mounted on the kayak. The data preparation consisted of a) manual removal of outliers, mostly caused by instrument echo in water depths below the instrument's 0.5 m minimum; b) correction of the measured water level to sea level; and c) interpolation of the sampling points into a regular grid using a terrain-following interpolation algorithm. For each of the estuaries, the raw measurements as a text (csv) file and the interpolated data both as a text (CSV) file and a GeoTiff file were produced.

Cultivated for millennia, the grapevine held a special status as one of the most important fruits in the historical Levant and the Mediterranean world. However, since past farmers typically did not leave written accounts of their activities, viticulture history is often shrouded in ambiguity, especially concerning the classification of grapevine landrace varieties. Hence, the study of archaic viticulture relies heavily on methodological fusion to unravel its more readily discernible biological and oral traditions.

Sequencing the mitochondrial genome of the tunicate Oikopleura dioica is a challenging task due to the presence of long poly-A/T homopolymer stretches, which impair sequencing and assembly. Here, we report on the sequencing and annotation of the majority of the mitochondrial genome of O. dioica by means of combining several DNA and amplicon reads obtained by Illumina and MinIon Oxford Nanopore Technologies with public RNA sequences.

Due to ongoing ocean warming, subtropical environments are becoming accessible to tropical species. Among these environments are the vermetid reefs of the Southeastern Mediterranean (SEM). In the last decades, these valuable coastal habitats witnessed the proliferation of numerous alien species of tropical origin.
