I wondered if the Zotero should be included in the bibliographic tools here for review. It is a Firefox plug-in with a number of useful features, and could act as the basis for a browser based client.
Biomapper is a freeware software tool for niche modelling. It works in Idrisi GIS environment, and allows to perform Ecological Niche Factor Analysis from presence-only data on the distribution of a species and some environmental predictors, to project these niche models into habitat suitability estimates than can be mapped in the geographical space, and validation of these models.
SAM is a relatively new but increasingly used freeware tool for macroecological analyses. It includes a number of exploratory statistics and autocorrelation analyses.
EstimateS is a freeware application that has been long used by most taxonomists and ecologists to evaluate the quality of their inventories, or to estimate species richness when inventories are not complete. Now it also incorporates some estimators of faunistic similarity.
