BioInfo (UK)

History

BioInfo (UK) is programmatically built from a 4th Dimension (4D) Database. The site is rebuilt more or less annually, or when sufficient changes and new relationships have accumulated.

Date Layout version Changes Taxa with info References Trophisms (*)
Coming soon! V 2.5 Using data extracted (by kind permission of the BMS) from the FRDBI database of fungal records.
  • Phenology (times of year) of appearance of each fungus species
  • Fungi associated with each host species and their relative frequencies
  • Plants etc associated with each fungal species and their relative frequencies
9 Jan 19 V 2.0 Switched to template-based html generation. Redesigned the page layout using the W3.CSS Framework. Now Version 2.0
  • Arranged the content in "Accordions" for easy hiding
  • Made the species-interaction tables sortable
  • Allowed the species-interaction tables to be copied to the clipboard for pasting into a spreadsheet
  • Added filtering to the "Fed-on-by" table for removal of unwanted taxonomic groups
Also added a few additional references.

(*) The number of trophisms counts each entry (eg stages, relationships, parts and states of host etc) separately. It also counts both species in a relationship separately, except species which are not recorded in our area where only the resident partner is counted.
