  2. What are the goals of BDWorld? • Extensible problem solving environment for global biodiversity analysis • Distributed computing • Employ GRID technology • Resource location • Workflow design & validation

  3. BdwCore Architecture

  4. Request Core BGI Response Wrapper Resource Workflow Designer Metadata Workflow Manager Taxonomic Verification Implementation

  5. Some relevant resource types: • Data sources: • Species 2000 ‘Catalogue of Life’ • Species Information Sources (SISs) • e.g. AVH, SpeciesAnalyst, RDG, CBIF, MBG...DIGIR, ABCD etc • Geographical • Boundaries of geographical & political units • Climate surfaces (Hadley, Paul Valdes' Palaeoclimate Data) • Genetic sequences (EMBL, local data) • Analytic tools: • Biodiversity richness assessment (WorldMap) • Bioclimatic modelling (Garp, CSM, Bioclim) • Phylogenetic analysis (Paup, clustalw, etc)

  6. Bioclimatic Modelling Basics CBIF, MBG, SpeciesAnalyst, RDG, AVH…..

  16. Phylogenetic Biogeography

  17. Map climate variables onto a finished phylogeny • Can we use these to choose between equally parsimonious trees? • Use climate model as a character within a phylogenetic analysis • How do we code this? • How do we weight this? • Use molecular clocks, palaeo-geography and palaeo-climate to investigate ancestral distributions Using climate data in conjunction with phylogenies
