Made to assist Taxonomists and workers in natural history collections, BioDex aims to empower people who want to contribute to the process of sorting and archiving museum specimens. After photographing a specimen, the app displays a list of the most similar species along with example images for cross reference. We are currently focused on identifying species of Butterflies but are working adding more families of Lepidoptera and other Insect groups in the future. HIGHLIGHTS - specifically designed use in collections - fast identification results - ergonomic layout for repeated use - active development to add new species and taxonomic groups ABOUT Developed by ETH Library Lab and ETH Entomological Collection.

About

CloudLabs Grouped data

Features
Read full description

In this simulator, you will apply concepts of grouped data statistics in order to determine which days are best for visiting a butterfly house and observing the flight of the greatest number of different butterfly species. You need to find the arithmetic mean, the mode, the median, and the quartiles. The simulator provides a butterfly incubator, 36 chrysalides of 3 species, and a laptop computer to record the data regarding the days on which the butterflies fly. It will also be useful to carry out the statistical analysis.
