So, ya remember how I said I was working on something? Here it is!!!
THE WORLD ASTEROIDEA DATABASE IS OPEN!!
Currently over 1800 names and counting!!!
My gift to the world! Yeeeha!
Still under development in some places...but has all of the taxonomic fundamentals!
Enjoy! (back to starfish sex tomorrow!)
Come on! Bring on more echinosex and psuedocopulation! I need something to occupy my time while I wait grad school news.
ReplyDeleteSeriously congratulations and thanks... a lot!
Echinobase are belong to us!!!
Great work Chris! Are there plans to expand the database to other Echinoderm groups in the near future?
ReplyDeleteThe Ophiuroidea database is already up and running
ReplyDeletewww.marinespecies.org/Ophiuroidea
there are holothurian and crinoid ones currently underway.
I have no info on what will happen with the echinoids.
Great work with the asteroidea database!!! I'm interested on the crinoid database adress... I haven't been able to find it! Could you help me a little bit :o)
ReplyDeleteThanx alot!
there isn't a crinoid database yet.
ReplyDeletethe only thing I can recommend is to go to
www.marinespecies.org and look up "Crinoidea"
eventually there will be a crinoid database..but prolly not for a few months yet..
