Utheria

YouTHERIA "YouTHERIA is an interactive web portal containing data on the life-history, ecology and geography of all mammals (THERIA) Tidskriften New Scientist skriver så här: "A new database that allows users to explore the factors that predispose different mammalian species to extinction – from human encroachment to slow reproductive rate – could be useful in planning conservation schemes, its developers say. Anyone can access the online system, YouTHERIA, which allows users to manipulate parameters including habitat ecology, litter size and diet, and test their own hypotheses" YouTHERIA bygger på databasen PanTHERIA
