  1. Support article: How to show species distributions and environmental layers on a map

    User Guide 3 Begin at the Atlas of Living Australia homepage. Select Search & analyse, then choose Spatial analysis (Spatial Portal). Select Add to map then select Layers. There are many layers to choose from. You can add more thanone layer at a time. Having chosen relevant layers, select Next. The opacity sliding bar allows you to change the opacity of the layer .You are also able to delete and hide layers by clicking the bin or tick box. You can then add species to the map...

  2. Support article: Where could the Greater Glider be?

    Ecologists, field naturalists and all sorts of people might ask such a question. The greater glider, Petauroides volans (Kerr, 1792), is Australia's largest glider, an arboreal marsupial that feeds on Eucalyptus leaves at night and shelters in tree hollows during the day. We have records of where it has been observed, but where else might it be? Species distribution models are often used to answer such questions...

  3. Support article: What are environmental and contextual spatial layers?

    What are spatial layers? In the context of the Spatial Portal of the Atlas of Living Australia, we use ‘layers’ to describe the concept of a surface draped over the landscape, where the spatial extent can be from a few tens of square kilometres to global scale. We have several hundred layers from ~70 data providers...

  4. Support article: Refine Your Search

    Jump to section: Facets Customising your results (filtering by conservation status example) Search results can be refined at a couple of different points in the process of searching for the biodiversity information you’re looking for. This article focuses on tailoring your results after you’ve performed your initial search...

  5. Support article: Spatial layers

    Jump to section: What is a spatial layer? Accessing and using spatial layers ALA criteria for managing spatial layers Conceptual requirements Technical requirements What is a spatial layer? A spatial layer is an image which contains regular, gridded data over a specific geographical area, such as the continent of Australia. These spatial layers can be/are often used for contextual visualisation, data extraction and ecological modelling...

  6. Support article: How to download occurrence records

    You can download data from the ALA in a number of different forms. To do this: 1. Make sure you are logged into the ALA. 2. Perform a search for occurrence records, or try this example search for red and grey kangaroo sightings across Australia. 3. Filter the results by taxon, location, source of the data and other facets to narrow the list down to only the most relevant records to you. 4. Click the Download button near the top right of the screen. 5...

  7. Support article: Search by species

    Jump to section: Simple species search Tabs on the species pages Advanced species search The Atlas of Living Australia is a repository that aggregates biodiversity data. The search tool is great for finding information and occurrence records of different species. The Atlas is built from scientific names, which means you’ll often have more success searching by scientific name...

  8. Support article: Classification case study

    Landscape classification using the Atlas of Living Australia Author: Professor Brendan Mackey, The Fenner School of Environment and Society. The Australian National University Prof Brendan Mackey, The Australian National University Introduction Our capacity to analyse space and time patterns in biological, ecological and environmental phenomena was transformed in the 1980’s by Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing and computer-based environmental modelling...

  9. Support article: An Introduction to Taxonomy

    Taxonomy is the science of naming, describing and classifying organisms. It underpins everything from picking out different plants at the nursery to being able to rapidly identify new invasive species. Like most fields of study, taxonomy is continuously evolving based on new scientific discoveries (new species being described), as well as techniques such as genetic sequencing and advanced imaging which can change the way researchers understand existing species...

  10. Biodiversity Science project: Ragwort biocontrol

    Jacobaea vulgaris ragwort Ragwort is an noxious pasture weed that threatens native flora biodiversity and poisons grazing animals. It can also be found invading roadsides, forests and woodlands, where it competes and suppresses growth of other vegetation. Four biocontrol agents have been released in Australia to combat the spread of ragwort. 1. Ragwort cinnabar moth *[Tyria...
