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.

Digital Taxonomy Software Thu, 01/17/2008 - 14:07

Digital Taxonomy intends to provide a range of links on software, methodologies, standards, data sources, and projects relatedto biodiversity data management, with emphasis on open source and free softwaretools for biodiversity informatics.

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).

Xper2 v1.9 Fri, 11/30/2007 - 16:41

Xper² is an application based on the Xper format which allows the construction of keys (it includes an editor for descriptive data) and which is useful for interactive identification.

SLIKS v2.1 Mon, 05/21/2007 - 14:51

SLIKS is a small Javascript program that I developed to facilitate the use of interactive keys. It runs over the web or locally on your machine.

Pickey vbikey-6 and bikey-7 Wed, 01/16/2008 - 16:01

PICKEY (Pictured Interactive Computerized biological KEY) is an interactive multi-entry polychotomous key for identification of organisms by intensive use of images. PICKEY is a most user-attractive part of the package BIKEY, which include a large set of programs for creation, analysis and subsequent perfection of computer keys, the initial information for this programs is stored in the form of data bases of most widespread and accessible format DBF for systems FoxPro, dBASE, FoxBase, Clipper, etc.

Lysandra v2.1 Tue, 05/22/2007 - 09:45

Lysandra is a software for creating keys and database on different groups of living organisms.

Pandora Fri, 10/19/2007 - 09:11

PANDORA is a database system for taxonomic and biodiversity research projects, such as floras or monographs.

Rachis v0.0.36 Tue, 05/22/2007 - 12:17

Create key from Delta files. Rachis is an open-source application for the arrangement of entities in a hierarchical system (taxonomy), and an interactive key for the entities in that system. The development of Rachis is in a very early stage at the moment, but progressing at a reasonable pace.

Linnaeus II v2.6 Fri, 11/30/2007 - 16:40

Linnaeus II is an innovative multifunctional research tool for systematists and biodiversity researchers, facilitating biodiversity documentation and species identification.

Linnaeus II was developed by ETI BioInformatics at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The software package, available for both Windows and Mac OS X, allows the creation of taxonomic databases, optimizes the construction of easy-to-use identification keys, expedites the display and comparison of distribution patterns, and promotes the use of taxonomic data for biodiversity studies.

The software can also be used to publish completed information systems on CD-ROM / DVD-ROM or make them available on the Web.
