New dataset: cnidaria compilation by Dhugal Lindsay (JAMSTEC)
This dataset is a compilaton of occurrence data for Cnidaria extracted from the literature by Dhugal Lindsay. You can view them on a map. The data was extracted from the following papers: Pags F. & P. R. Pugh 2002. Fuseudoxid: the elusive sexual stage of the calycophoran siphonophore Crystallophyes amygdalina (Clausophyidae: Crystallophyinae). Acta Zoologica 83(4): … Continue reading New dataset: cnidaria compilation by Dhugal Lindsay (JAMSTEC)
Workshop on Visualizing Biological Data
To all of you interested in the power of visualization, a workshop is ongoing at the Broad Institute, Cambridge MA. As biological data grows rapidly in volume and complexity, biologists rely increasingly on computational visualization to gain insight from data. VIZBI 2011 will bring together researchers developing and using computational tools to visualize data from … Continue reading Workshop on Visualizing Biological Data
New Southern Ocean Isopods dataset available
Isopods are an important component of the Antarctic benthos and can be rich across depth and regions. A lack of dispersive larval stages makes them putatively very vulnerable to climate-induced changes and thus potentially an ideal model taxon for monitoring faunal shifts. This data base is designed to collate distribution records of isopod crustaceans across … Continue reading New Southern Ocean Isopods dataset available
CAML BiPolar Macroscope summary layers available
The CAML BiPolar Macroscope summary layers are available from our shared folder. These layers are bipolar climatological and other summary layers that may be useful for purposes such as general modelling, regionalisation, and exploratory analyses. All of the layers in this collection are provided on a consistent 0.1-degree grid, which covers -180 to 180E, 80S … Continue reading CAML BiPolar Macroscope summary layers available
