New WWW Site - Texas Plant Diversity

[Hugh D. Wilson]

"A new experimental biodiversity WWW site, "Texas Plant Diversity", is
now available via the Home Page of the Texas A&M University Plant
Diversity Information Center (PDIC), at this URL:

http://straylight.tamu.edu/tamu/pdic.html

This informatics resource is an effort by Texas A&M University faculty
to explore problems associated with data presentation from differing
sources of information.  The site includes searchable data resources
derived from collections (TAMU Herbarium), broad-based
floristic/taxonomic data resources (The Checklist of the Vascular
Plants of Texas), and available information on critical/endangered
taxa (Texas Organization of Endangered Species)."

The Texas A&M PDIC is a collaborative effort by the:

W.M. Keck Center for Genome Informatics (Leland Ellis)
Department of Biology (Hugh Wilson)
Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management (Stephan Hatch)
Texas Organization for Endangered Species (TOES)
