+ More...
+ [http://www.unep-wcmc.org/]: UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Center has ESRI based interactive maps with basic ArcIMS functionality.
+
+ [http://beta.lifemapper.org/]: The user can choose species, find and map units and perform GARP analysis (in cases where enough distinct sites are found). The user interface is poor and slow. We did not succeed in running a GARP analysis.
+
+ [http://biodi.sdsc.edu/ww_home.html]: The WhyWhere site has its own data and analysis tools. Allows selection of location and data, and creates predictive maps and input data to COTS GIS.
+
+ [http://www.kgs.ukans.edu/Hexacoral/]: Biogeoinformatics of hexacorallia has attribute query and map browsing with identify. Uses ESRI's ArcIMS.
+
+ [http://www.elzaresearch.com/landv/axiomap_ie5.html]: AxioMap: XML based GIS. Limited capabilities - works fast.
+
+ [http://www.ebird.org/eBirdReports]: Provides bird observations per species, and allows users to add observations. The interface is simple and slow. No analysis or query; just display by species.
+
+ [http://elib.cs.berkeley.edu/matrix.html]: Points to many data sources and includes a non-COTS viewer. Not easy to use.
+
+ [http://www.ento.csiro.au/biolink/software.html]: BioLink is a taxon- and specimen-based desktop software system. It is not yet fully operational. Provides a built-in mapping tool allowing display of geocoded records. It can produce distribution maps of taxa. The Mapping tool uses ESRI shape files, which will allow users to add their own maps, and maps layers.
+
+ [http://www.globalforestwatch.org/english/index.htm]: Global Forest Watch uses basic ArcIMS capabilities
+
+ [http://habanero.nhm.ukans.edu/zportal/tsasimple.asp]: This is the Species Analyst site for accessing distributed heterogeneous databases using ISO 23950 and XML technology. The main species analyst site is [http://tsadev.speciesanalyst.net/]
+
+ The user interface is nice and it works fast. Output files are XML, Excel or ESRI's shapefile. Currently there is no Internet geographic viewer. Alternative tools are being developed that permit direct access to these data by using Excel and ESRI's ArcView, which are in development, but beta versions may be retrieved from Z.X.
+
+ [http://www.nationalgeographic.com/wildworld/]: National Geographic was one of the first ArcIMS users. The Wild World has interactive maps for conservation and ecoregions.
+
+ [http://usobi.org/specify/]: Specify is a Microsoft Windows database application for entry, management and retrieval of data from biological collections. The databse includes morphological attributes, geospatial coordinates, taxonomic determinations and the ecological data associated with specimen vouchers. Specify is available at no charge. Soon, Specify will use DIGIR serve XML-encoded specimen data to an international network of collaborating museum data servers. We did not download the software yet.
+
+ [http://www.bdworld.org/]: Biodiversity World is a project to create a GRID-based problem solving environment, planned for collaborative exploration and analysis of global biodiversity. The site is not yet operative. A typical workflow will involve:
+ # Using the Species 2000 to specify the organisms under study
+ # Combine relevant data from rich data sources around the world
+ # Use an array of analytical tools for analysis
+
+ [http://www.searchnbn.net/]; Has incomprehensible interactive maps - all specimens at the same points!
+
+ [http://beta.lifemapper.org/desktopgarp/]: Desktop Garp is a software package for biodiversity that allows the user to predict and analyze wild species distributions.
+
+ [http://www.calacademy.org/research/informatics/georef/]: Includes a software tool to help determine the geographic area where a unit (specimen / observation) was found from a text description.
+
+ [http://www.ramas.com/]: Ramas is a commercial Bioinformatics GIS software package.

+
+ [http://www.iobis.org/tools.shtml]: This is a list of Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS) tools. Most of them are relevant to all biodiversity and are discussed separately in this list.
+
+ [http://149.170.199.144/new_gis/sitemap.htm]: Notes for a course on GIS and conservation biology research and management. Contains a great deal of information and links.
