[Taxacom] iSpecies now has maps

[Roderic Page]

My iSpecies toy (http://ispecies.org) now displays maps from GBIF  
(where they are available), to supplement information on genomics,  
literature, and images.

A nice example is Physeter catodon (http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/ 
~rpage/ispecies/?q=Physeter+catodon)

For those curious as to how this is done I've blogged it at http:// 
ispecies.blogspot.com/2007/08/maps-and-google-tweak.html .

Regards

Rod
