  2. Site Page: ALA webinar: Protecting Australia’s ecosystems: novel approaches to biosecurity management – Atlas of Living Australia

    Posted on 27th May 2022 Australia is home to a vast number of species, many of which occur nowhere else. Unfortunately, however, the high uniqueness of our plants and animals makes our ecosystems unusually vulnerable to invasive species. In this webinar, three presenters will talk about their efforts to predict, locate, and eradicate high-impact invasive species before they become established, a crucial step in protecting our precious ecosystems. This webinar took place at 1...

  3. Support article: Tabulation Case Study

    Author: Lee Belbin Tabulation in the Spatial Portal of the Atlas of Living Australia is a powerful way of comparing how species and areas are partitioned. Think of tabulations as the categorical (class) equivalent to scatterplots. Scatterplots display species occurrences against two environmental variables represented as X and Y-axes, for example ‘Mean annual temperature’ or ‘Annual rainfall’. Tabulations replace these X and Y axes of continuous numeric values with categories or classes...

  4. Site Page: Data processing – Atlas of Living Australia

    Posted on 9th October 2013 We are regularly asked about how we process and manage data. This blog provides a reasonably technical overview of: some of the processes occurrence data goes through; how the results of this processing are visible to users; and how users can explore and filter data to be “fit for purpose” Note that these processes continue to evolve over time to better detect issues and address your needs so your feedback is welcome...

    Learn more about: What is a ‘species name’? How is a species name determined? Can a species name have more than one meaning? Why does a species have more than one name? Where does the ALA get its species names? What is the problem with common names? Why doesn’t the ALA list all the common names for a species?

  7. Site Page: ALA in action: Trevor Booth, CSIRO Land and Water – Atlas of Living Australia

    Posted on 26th February 2018 Trevor Booth uses the ALA to study where particular tree species can grow in Australia and overseas, under both current and future climatic conditions. In this article, Trevor describes some of his work and provides some useful tips for anyone using the ALA’s mapping and analysis features to study plant or animal distributions...

  8. Site Page: Species traits: exploring why species live where they live – Atlas of Living Australia

    Posted on 26th November 2018 By Michael Kearney, Physiological Ecologist, School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne Michael Kearney with a Stumpy Tailed Lizard near Ouyen, Victoria. I grew up in a bushy outer suburb of Melbourne and spent most of my spare time looking for animals in my backyard and down at the local creek. As my travels grew wider, I began to find the geographic distributions of species fascinating...

  10. Site Page: Classify – Atlas of Living Australia

    Posted on 31st January 2012 ALOC (short for Allocation) is a highly efficient yet simple classification method from the PATN package (http://www.patn.com.au) designed to classify large volumes of data. Think of ALOC as combining multiple layers of environmental data (e.g. mean annual temperature, slope, and precipitation) into one new layer that captures the essence of all chosen layers...
