SYNTHESYS NAD: Providing itinerary related datasets and tools (for integration, visualisation and quality check)
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.
EstimateS. Statistical estimation of species richness and shared species from samples
EstimateS. Statistical estimation of species richness and shared species from samples Wed, 10/17/2007 - 10:07
EstimateS is a free software application for Windows and Macintosh operating systems that computes a variety of biodiversity functions, estimators, and indices based on biotic sampling data. Some features require species relative abundance data, others only species presence/absence data.
Ws2m. Software for the measurement and analysis of species diversity
Ws2m. Software for the measurement and analysis of species diversity Fri, 10/19/2007 - 09:33
Ws2m estimate the number of species in a collection of identified individuals generating a series of statistics for a randomly ordered data set. Ws2m uses a large (and user-controllable) variety of estimators to produce the estimates. It also reports the number of individuals used to that point and the actual number of species so far obtained in the collection. It can report species-abundance distributions and Jaccard indices.
SPADE. Species Prediction And Diversity Estimation
SPADE. Species Prediction And Diversity Estimation Fri, 10/19/2007 - 09:24
SPADE estimates species richness, shared species richness and various diversity and similarity indices, based on different types of sample data from one or two communities.
EcoSim. Null model software for ecologists
EcoSim. Null model software for ecologists Wed, 10/17/2007 - 10:04
EcoSim allows you to test for community patterns with non-experimental data performing Monte Carlo randomizations to create “pseudo-communities”, then statistically compares the patterns in these randomized communities with those in the real data matrix.
SPECRICH
SPECRICH v1.0 Fri, 10/19/2007 - 09:27
SPECRICH Computes species richnessor total number of species from empirical species abundance distribution data.
GBIF MAPA
GBIF MAPA Wed, 10/17/2007 - 10:14
A GBIF demonstration project which allows users to query the GBIF cache using names obtained through the Catalogue of life and to map and analyse the resultant record set. The Survey Gap Analysis (SGA) tool helps to design a biodiversity survey that will best complement the existing survey effort by identifying those areas least well surveyed in terms of environmental conditions. The Species Richness Assessment (SRA) tool provide an estimate of the number of species in an area; and to gain insight into the adequacy of sampling based on abundance distributions for those species.
LoLA. Library of Location Algorithms
LoLA. Library of Location Algorithms Thu, 10/18/2007 - 13:10
LoLA is designed as a software system comprising the algorithmic methods known in location planning. LoLA consists of a GUI (graphical user interface), a text based interface, and a programming interface which is designed to enable the users of LoLA to write their own C++ programs using algorithms from the LoLA -libraries.
ZONATION
ZONATION Fri, 10/19/2007 - 09:35
Zonation is a reserve selection framework for spatial conservation planning. It identifies areas important for retaining habitat quality and connectivity for multiple species, indirectly aiming at species’ long-term persistence. Zonation can be used for various purposes such as spatial conservation prioritization, conservation assessment, reserve selection and reserve network design.
GeoDa. An Introduction to Spatial Data Analysis
GeoDa. An Introduction to Spatial Data Analysis Thu, 10/18/2007 - 13:02
GeoDa is the latest incarnation in a long line of software tools designed to implement techniques for exploratory spatial data analysis on lattice data (points and polygons). The free program provides a user friendly and graphical interface to methods of descriptive spatial data analysis, such as spatial autocorrelation statistics, as well as basic spatial regression functionality.
