point of view, this demonstrates very nicely the absurdity of how we deal with
scientific literature: At the bottom, there is a link to description, and the
link goes to Wikipedia: This is fine in itself, but it questions why we bother
to go through writing scientific publications describing species. You bother to
have links to scientific names, and then in the next section one on commons
names: here you care, but you do not make the same for species descriptions.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<br>
It would be nice if some representation or preview of the map appeared right on
the page... worth taking a look at the Google Maps API. Helps you know if
it's worth the extra click & switching to the other app. Also, did you know
that KMLs will show up on <a href="http://maps.google.com">maps.google.com</a>
too? It's called "kml on maps" - might help with what you're
looking for. <br>

<br>
I will not be attending the meeting this fall but thought
that this<br>
may be of interest to those interested in species pages models.<br>
I am working on species pages that include the use of video. The
videos <br>
were only added a month ago and are a bit rudimentary<br>
(with budget-conscious equipment) but the potential now seems truly<br>
limitless.<br>
