CATE 0.6 Released

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 23:00:00 GMT

This release includes several significant improvements to the user interface: the behaviour of the taxon tree, free text search of descriptions, and links to relevant data from the Biodiversity Heritage Library and Entrez (NCBI) in the taxon pages.

We've also added descriptions of the taxa belonging to the group found in particlar geographical areas - The Araceae web-revision has taken advantage of this and uploaded content for species from 26 Genera found in Africa, along with a key to African Araceae.

The Sphingidae revision has added images of disected genitalia for the sub-family, Macroglossinae.

CATE 0.5 Released

Thu, 03 Apr 2008 23:00:00 GMT

This release includes further work on compatibility with the EDIT Common Data Model, and substantial work on the stability and performance of the software.

The exemplar groups have also been very busy - the Araceae team have included preliminary releases of interactive Lucid keys to Philodendron and Anthurium and web pages to accompany these genera, plus the beginnings of the African Araceae, Arophyton, Carlephyton, Gonatopus and Zantedeschia.

The Sphingidae exemplar group have provided images of two sub-families, Macroglossinae and Chaerocampinae - well over 3,000 high quality images of adult moths and dissections.

CATE 0.4 Released

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT

On the data side of things, this release includes high quality images of 22 genera including Aellops, Aleuron, Callionima, Hemaris and Nyceryx for the Sphingidae, and species pages for some species in the genera Colocasia, Hapaline, Pothos and Pothoidium for the Araceae.
