A flexible metadata database that utilizes XML as a common syntax for representing the large number of metadata content standards relevant to ecology. Thus, Metacat is a generic XML database that ... [More] allows storage, query, and retrieval of arbitrary XML documents without prior knowledge of the XML schema. [Less]

Morpho allows you to create and manage your data, and to share it with others. It was created to provide an easy-to-use, cross-platform application for accessing and manipulating metadata and data ... [More] (both locally and on the network). Morpho allows ecologists to create metadata, (i.e. describe their data in a standardized format), and create a catalog of data & metadata upon which to query, edit and view data collections. In addition, It also provides the means to access network servers, in order to query, view and retrieve all relevant, public ecological data! [Less]

DIM SUM: Demography and Individual Migration Simulated Using a Markov chainDIM SUM (Demography and Individual Migration Simulated Using a Markov chain) is a stand-alone Java program for the simulation ... [More] of population demography and individual migration, while keeping track of genetic relationships. It does not rely on assumptions of the coalescent or of discrete population boundaries. It is extremely flexible, allowing the user to set the positions of borders, the reaction of an organism to a border, local and global carrying capacities, individual dispersal kernels, rates of reproduction, and strategies for sampling individuals. Spatial variables may be specified using image files (e.g., as exported from GIS software) and may vary through time. DIM SUM will be useful for testing of phylogeographic methods (e.g., nested clade phylogeographic analysis, coalescent-based tests, and continuous-landscape frameworks), landscape-genetic methods, and specific violations of coalescent assumptions, as well as visualizing hypotheses of biological invasions, and as a pedagogical tool.
