Whoa…now this is a phenomenal tool. iSpecies is a simple, minimalist page ala Google, with a single text entry box. Type in any taxon name, hit enter, and it comes back at you with genomics data, images, and documents on the organism(s). It's a species search engine!

Why use Google, which will give you ten million irrelevant
hits, when all you really want to do, is to find the juicy stuff on
ScienceBlogs?
Well, you can navigate to the ScienceBlogs home page, and search there,
or go to any of the blogs and use the search boxes there. Or,

Once again, there's a silly article somewhere, and everyone hammers me with requests to write about it. It's frankly flattering that people see
this sort of nonsense, and immediately think of asking me about it - you folks are going to give me a swelled head!
The article in question is a recent…

I'd like to start our tour of book and library information-management techniques with a glance at the humble back-of-book index. I started the USDA's excellent indexing course back in the day, and while it became clear fairly quickly that I do not have the chops to be a good indexer and so I never…
Wow This is fantastic!
Ack! I have to register some place again? Or will this thing actually remember me?
As to the actually subject.. Definitly interesting. Though, I am not sure what a "mouse bikini" has to do with the term mouse. suppose it could be worse though, and generate an image from the fury porn Shayla the Pink Mouse. lol
I think I like the iSpecies. Now I just need to learn more taxa so I can play with it.
--Hey now! How you doin'?--
I was curious what iSpecies would come up with if I entered sativa. Just then she appeared like a vision on the screen, a fine example of the species, looking for "anyone for anything", and currently in an open/swinger relationship.
The Indonesian mimic octopus page throws up some nice pictures, but the other stuff seems unrelated - a book on culture in non-human primates for example. What's the animal's proper name?
Ooh, nice toy. I just tried out my Psychodidae on it.
Nice! Even general stuff like 'zebrafish', 'squid' and 'google' gives a response.
Wait... google is from a funny phyla to place here. Perhaps it is added as some sort of webliving species - maybe they are testing and improving cladistics on new fields. :-)
