Map of Life

By bringing together all types of information about species distributions, providing model-based integration, and providing a system for users to build upon our knowledge, the Map of Life project hopes to support our community in understanding and saving the world's biodiversity.

There is now a demo release of Map of Life!

This demo allows you to map and produce list of species anywhere for ~ 46,000 species (includingall described birds, mammals and amphibians - for info check the ‘Dashboard’).
Map species distributions : Type species name in ‘Search’ window, select layer source and type. Use controls on top left and right of screen. Video .  

Below is a screenshot of an Ostrea lurida search. (There is tons of Crassostrea data too!)
