Steps

  1. Navigate to https://data.lifemapper.org/biotaphy/

  2. In the left pane, choose a completed project under Anonymous, or your username if you are logged in. Completed projects have a check mark after their name. Completed projected distribution maps will be displayed in the right pane.

  3. To view data in the public archive , click Search Species in the left pane. In the right pane, enter a species name, or the first few letters of a species name.

  4. A list will appear under the text field of matching taxa, continue typing into the text field until the species you are interested in shows in the list.

  5. Click the species name in the list.

  6. A map will appear with the points and any projections associated with the species you selected. The name of the map will have the code of the algorithm used, the model scenario code, and the projection scenario code.

  7. You can pan and zoom the map to explore the projection and point data. The orange dots represent occurrence points of the species and the red grid cells represent areas where the species is projected to have suitable habitat under the climate scenario.
    Darker red indicates that the probability is lower and brighter red indicates a higher probability of habitat suitability.
