Lucid3 - On-Line Player Wed, 07/09/2008 - 13:59

The Online Player joins the other two Player options for Lucid3 keys – the Lucid3 Application Player and the Lucid3 Applet – to provide a great service to our clients and your end-users.

CiteULike Wed, 01/16/2008 - 16:00

CiteULike is a free service to help you to store, organise and share the scholarly papers you are reading. When you see a paper on the web that interests you, you can click one button and have it added to your personal library. CiteULike automatically extracts the citation details, so there's no need to type them in yourself. It all works from within your web browser so there's no need to install any software. Because your library is stored on the server, you can access it from any computer with an Internet connection.

Meka v3.10 Wed, 07/09/2008 - 14:00

MEKA is an interactive Multiple-Entry Key Algorithm to enable rapid identification of biological specimens. Earlier versions of the program used a command-line interface. The version offered here is the first version developed to run under Windows. MEKA is controlled by mouse clicks; no text is entered. This approach allows very rapid access to program functions.

The user picks character states that are present in the specimen from a list of possibilities. As the character states are scored by picking them, MIKA eliminates taxa that no longer match the list of scored character states. Different windows display different aspects of the underlying data base. As the identification progresses the windows are updated automatically. An index screen makes it easy to find and score particular classes of character states. MEKA does not lead the user in a fixed stepwise progression through a series of questions. Instead, the user can perform identifications by scoring character states in any order. This makes it possible to identify specimens that are much more fragmentary than is possible with dichotomous keys.

MorphoBrowser Thu, 10/18/2007 - 13:12

The ‘MorphoBrowser’ database and interface is a 3D visualisation and searching tool for mammalian teeth, accessible over the web. It allows the user to ‘browse’ through the diverse range of tooth morphologies found in mammals, both extinct and extant. While browsing, the three-dimensional shape of the teeth can be viewed from any direction by rotating and scaling the tooth.

Morphometric Software at Suny Stony Brook Thu, 10/18/2007 - 13:14

The purpose of this directory is to make available programs useful for morphometric analysis. Contributions of additional software are welcome. Contact us with suggestions for improvements and with additional contributions to the morphmet archive. Click on the categories in the contents window (at the left) to obtain lists of available software. The platform required by each program (e.g., DOS, Windows, Mac, Unix) is indicated in red for each program. Note: Windows programs can sometimes be run using emulators on other platforms (e.g., Wine on Linux of Connectix Virtual PC on a Mac).

SYNTHESYS NAD: Providing itinerary related datasets and tools (for integration, visualisation and quality check) Fri, 10/19/2007 - 09:30

The funtion of this service is to detect itinerary patterns in georeferenced primary data presumably collected during a collecting event.

SAM. Spatial Analysis in Macroecology Fri, 10/19/2007 - 09:21

SAM is a compact but robust computer program designed as a package of statistical tools for spatial analysis, mainly for applications in Macroecology and Biogeography. SAM runs under Microsoft Windows as a user-friendly, menu-driven, graphical interface computational program. SAM offers a wide spectrum of statistical methods currently used in Surface Pattern Spatial Analysis.

SITATION. Facility Location Software. Fri, 10/19/2007 - 09:23

The SITATION software solves several classes of location problems running under Windows 95. This program as others are fully described in the book Network and Discrete Location: Models, Algorithms, and Applications.

FloraMap Wed, 10/17/2007 - 10:09

FloraMap is a software linked to agroclimatic and other databases able to showing the most likely distribution of wild species in nature.

HyperNiche Thu, 10/18/2007 - 13:01

HyperNiche is a software for nonparametric regression, providing a flexible tool for multiplicative habitat modelling, habitat models where the predictors are combined multiplicatively rather than additively.
