iSpecies.org - a species search engine |
|
http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/%7Erpage/ispecies/Whoa…now this is a phenomenal tool. iSpecies is a simple, minimalist page ala Google, with a single text entry box. Type in any taxon name, hit enter, and it comes back at you with genomics data, images, and documents on the organism(s). It's a species search engine! http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/01/ispecies.php

4. Cool, but not ready for prime time. |

Sometimes it could find the English name but not the Latin. LBJ's(little brown jobs) it couldn't find, more photogenic species it could. I asked for Claudius(a monotypic genus of turtles from Cenrtal America) and got busts of the Roman emperor! I'm sure it will get better, by and by. Anything associated with EO Wilson is OK by me.
