Donat, Good point. Although not completely true, because we also search for scientific articles and news sources. But like in this example: it is often easier to find an online wikipedia description than a online description from a scientific publication. That tells something about accessibility of the information...

From a scientific literature point of view, this demonstrates very nicely the absurdity of how we deal with scientific literature: At the bottom, there is a link to description, and the link goes to Wikipedia: This is fine in itself, but it questions why we bother to go through writing scientific publications describing species. You bother to have links to scientific names, and then in the next section one on commons names: here you care, but you do not make the same for species descriptions.

It would be nice if some representation or preview of the map appeared right on the page... worth taking a look at the Google Maps API. Helps you know if it's worth the extra click & switching to the other app. Also, did you know that KMLs will show up on maps.google.com too? It's called "kml on maps" - might help with what you're looking for. Best, -Rebecca Shapley On 8/10/07, Timothy M.

I am working on species pages that include the use of video. The videos were only added a month ago and are a bit rudimentary (with budget-conscious equipment) but the potential now seems truly limitless.
