Graphical user interface for easily visualizing and downloading data on ecological networks of species interactions.

The Web of Life provides a graphical user interface, based on Google Maps, for easily visualizing and downloading data on ecological networks of species interactions. It is designed and implemented in a relational database management system, allowing sophisticated and user-friendly searching across networks. Users can access the database by any web browser using a variety of operating systems. Data can be downloaded in several common formats, and a data transmission webservice in JavaScript Object Notation is also provided. This project is supported by a European Research Council's Advanced Grant. It is intended to share data with the scientific community as we have been doing since the publication of our first papers on mutualistic networks. We have cleaned, corrected and updated our data set on mutualistic networks and plan on uploading new datasets on host-parasite, plant-herbivore, food webs, and others.
