Open Source Ecosystem Sciences Software

Niche Analyst (NicheA) was developed based on the BAM framework which allows users to create virtual spaces and virtual species, and to analyze ecological niches in both multivariate environmental and geographic spaces, linking views of the niche in the two spaces. The unique functionality in NicheA, not available in other software programs, is estimating Grinnellian niches of species based on environmental variables and occurrence records, but with a clear focus on fundamental ecological niches. NicheA can display ecological niches; calculate their shape, density, location, and other attributes; and quantify similarity among multiple niches.

IBIS - Interactive Biodiversity Informatics Software - is software to identify species or other taxa. Intended users range from school children or citizen scientists to ecologists or taxonomists. The identification keys can be embedded in CMS or Wiki

Luscinia is a program for archiving and analyzing field sound recordings (especially of animals). It incorporates an interface to a database, spectrogram measurement algorithms, sound comparison algorithms, and statistical analysis.

R Tools for Biologists (RT4Bio) is a multi-functional package writen in R language developed in the Laboratory of Behavioral and Computational Ecology at State University of Montes Claros - MG - Brazil. Formerly known as RRJ.

Life Science Identifier (LSID) Specification is a globally unique identifying scheme for information resources on the life sciences domain. It is based on Internet standards such as DNS, URN, HTTP, RDF, SOAP, WSDL, and web services.

TRiDaS is a universal data exchange standard for the dendrochronology community. This project contains the data standard itself as well as libraries and tools useful for reading, writing and converting dendro data files.

This is a collection of scripts and instructions on how to analyzing amplicon sequence data (i.e., 16S, ITS2, & other marker genes). I created this workflow to create a consistent set of methods for analyzing amplicon sequence data, from when you first receive the sequence data to statistical analyses & data visualization. All you need is to have the latest version of R installed, some experience with the command line & shell, and enough memory to run all of the programs. There are also instructions provided in case you are running these analyses via a computing cluster/Slurm workload manager. You can choose to go through the workflow using either an Rmd script, an html file, or a PDF, or via the homepage link provided. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks!

This software uses data gathered from published biodiversity inventories, together with physical and vegetational maps, to build a biodiversity map (darkening geographical landscape according with the richness/diversity of species).

BioMa is a specimen based Biodiversity database Manager. It is designed to store, organize, and manipulate biodiversity-related scientific data, either for the purposes of museums, scientific collections, or research projects.

birdweights is a a package of scripts to analyze data from an automated system for the measurement of mass and identification of birds at perches.

This software enable cannabis grower to manage and retrieve statistics about culture, tools included have the goal to help growing indoor cannabis.

The Dynamic Multispecies Metabolic Modeling (DyMMM [dĭm]) framework is a mathematical modeling tool that integrates multiple constraint-based metabolic models into a single dynamic community metabolic model. The DyMMM framework was formerly known as the DMMM framework.

The software takes the initial gene correlations obtained as initial data, or from a Genepop file, and simulates the transgenerational transition of both the gene correlations and the fixation indices (Fls, Fil y Fis) for any number of generations.

GridSweeper makes it easy to perform batch runs of scientific simulation programs on computational grids/distributed resource management systems.

Jazoo. The Zoo of virtual evolving creatures. Mostly focused on evolving communication between intelligent agents. It's in VERY early stage. Everyone's invited to join, participate, suggest, discuss etc.

The OBO-Annotator is a semantic NLP tool that is designed to give its end-users a great deal of flexibility to combine any number of OBO ontologies from the OBO foundry regardless of their format and use them to annotate text-bases.

This will be next version of PHIbase.

Symbiota Virtual Flora/Fauna project is an open source software project with central goals of developing online search engines and tools that will aid in the exploration & management of biodiversity data (herbarium specimens, images, checklist, etc)

WHATCH’EM simulates the highly non-linear manner in which atmospheric conditions and container characteristics determine water temperature and height, leading to results that are not always intuitive and likely not simulated by simpler empirical models. WHATCH’EM has the capacity to be utilized for other mosquitoes and other container-inhabiting arthropods.

This project aims to develop various tools for artificial life and complex systems simulations: from the simulator itself to generic generation tools.

EXPR is a software package for the recording and analysis of animal behaviour. Recording is done by pressing particular keyboard keys on the computer. The software then saves the sequence and timing of behaviours. Note that the DOS (1995: https://sourceforge.net/projects/expr/files/expr/fb-port-expr-00-1995/EXPR-binary-DOS-0.0.1995.tar.gz/download) version is currently the only fully functional and is recommended for use. On modern computers, DOS software can run in DOSBOX (https://www.dosbox.com/).

An online database project with database and web interface to archive, manage, search and download individual-based life history data that have been collected from wild primate populations.
