[Taxacom] iSpecies

[Lyubomir Penev]

Rod,

This is just to recall that Pensoft Taxon Profile (PTP)  is doing very much
the same since 2010 for any taxon name of any rank mentioned in any Pensoft
journal (see example for, say, Trichoceridae
<http://bdj.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=7610&display_type=element&element_type=7&element_id=0&element_name=Trichoceridae>).
At that time, the creation of the PTP was largely inspired by uBio and
iSpecies but it delivers through either APis or name string search
information associated with taxon names from more than 20 trusted
biodiversity resources, including: GBIF, EOL, NCBI, BOLD, PubMedCentral,
PubMed, CrossRef, Google Scholar, BHL, ZooBank, IPNI, ION, Index Fungorum,
Wikipedia, Wikispecies, invasive,org, Tropicos, IUCN, and some more.

A bit outdated version of the tool is available also as standalone
application at: http://ptp.pensoft.eu.

Of course, we all know that this kind of tools are largely dependent on the
providers' APIs and search interfaces and are especially vulnerable to
changes in them. Anyway, they are useful if one wants to get quickly to the
first-hand information on a taxon name through the mentioned resources.

Regards,
Lyubo
