An isometric game with C++ and SDL. Your beings should survive fighting with other beings, reproducting to make a massive attack and eating. But sometimes you will have to eat some of your own live beings so that others could stay alive, well it's life.

The Forestry Commission and Natural England commissioned a bespoke data collection and presentation tool for calculating the potential for increasing the extent of tree cover across the north west of England. The data was divided into sub-regions by landscape type using Natural England's Character Area classifications. The potential within each of these Character Areas was then estimated by working groups of local experts who were capable of making reasoned assessments of both the opportunities and constraints to woodland creation. Subsequently, this project was considerably extended and adopted as a national system. It is currently being used to compile the National Woodland Potential dataset for the whole of England.

La Xarxa de Suport a la Reutilització és com un EBAY d'ordinadors que refusa la transacció econòmica entre el donant d'equipament i el seu receptor, ha estat desenvolupada gràcies a la subvenció que els Ajuts puntCAT van atorgar a finals de 2010 a l'associació TxT-Tecnologia per a Tothom. Estàs interessat/da en muntar una plataforma semblant?, pots descarregar-te el codi d'aquest web i provar la XSR a www.xsr.cat. Ets un/a particular amb recursos insuficients o una entitat amb fi social i sense ànim de lucre? Necessites un o varis ordinadors? El portal XSR posa en contacte els donants d'equips amb els receptors amb l'objectiu de facilitar un aprofitament gratuït de maquinari informàtic de segona mà en bon estat.

Yggdrasill is a 3D phylogenetic tree visualization software based on the Unity 5 engine. Intended for educational and scientific purposes this demonstration release allows to display and explore evolutionary relationships between different terrestrial vertebrate species. Currently available features include procedural tree generation of evolutionary data provided by the Tree of Life (ToL) Web Project (http://tolweb.org/tree/), full three dimensional camera controls as well as a web search, an extinct species overlay and more. Later updates will include the full ToL dataset, improve tree generation and overall accessability, as well as adding access to other datasets. Special thanks go to the Tree of Life Web Project and all its contributors for providing the data and to Unity Technologies for free access to Unity 5.

bioCity is a continuous space, discrete time simulation written in C++. It is meant to be of use to population biologists. Rules of behaviour are given to individuals that move, live, die, and procreate.

Simulates data from a gaussian/beta/piecewise-linear species response function on an environmental gradient, with different sampling (error) distributions. See "Cline (biology)" on wikipedia.org.

Interfaces to Vaisala Present Weather (PWD12) and Vaisala NMEA (WS425 or WMT700) serial data and produces DATEX2 V2 compliant tranmissions over a LAN.

This project aims to develop various tools for artificial life and complex systems simulations: from the simulator itself to generic generation tools.

This is an simple ecological model for lakes and reservoirs that contains a very detailed description of the most relevant nitrogen processes. The model is not very complete, but the main intention is to develop a library to be coupled with other models and use the full-mixed model as a testing version. A lot of things can be improved. I will read all the suggestions but I cannot promise that I will include all of them. Every new part of the code will contain the name of the author. If someone contributes improving the capabilities of this model in a substantial way, I will include that person as co-author of the model in the next version release. I hope this will promote people to contribute. Of course, fixing bugs or minor changes will also be mentioned with the corresponding author. Thanks a lot. I hope this can be the seed of a Open Source Community of Ecological Modellers.

EXPR is a software package for the recording and analysis of animal behaviour. Recording is done by pressing particular keyboard keys on the computer. The software then saves the sequence and timing of behaviours. Note that the DOS (1995: https://sourceforge.net/projects/expr/files/expr/fb-port-expr-00-1995/EXPR-binary-DOS-0.0.1995.tar.gz/download) version is currently the only fully functional and is recommended for use. On modern computers, DOS software can run in DOSBOX (https://www.dosbox.com/).

GeoSciPy is a set of C and Python functions that provide an API for all aspects of Geoscience and Remote Sensing Applications. Functions include reading/writing of many data formats, images, vectors, ..., and processing of images, vectors, ... including map projections, ... The library is written C, using HDF5 as the file format for storage of all remotely-sensed data and ancillary data, as well as processed data. The C functions assume a particular format for the HDF5 file contents, and provide functions for reading and writing data to such files. There is also a Python API that provides a procedural as well as an object-oriented interface to these functions. A Python GUI for interacting with such datasets is also part of the project. While there are other open-source GIS, and image-processing packages available, this one is designed to be comprehensive, work on 3 major platforms, user-extensible, fast, and able to handle huge datasets.

This is a collection of Python functions, with which data can be exported from the Python environment to a file which can be viewed in GoogleEarth.

Green Village is an easy to use project platform for managing small villages to switch their energy consumption to renewable energy solutions. It is build with Ruby On Rails. Started as a university project it was handed over to the open source community

hSDM is an R package for hierarchical species distribution models. Such models allows interpreting the observations (occurrence and abundance of a species) as a result of several hierarchical processes including ecological processes (habitat suitability, spatial dependence and anthropogenic disturbance) and observation processes (species detectability). Hierarchical species distribution models are essential for accurately characterizing the environmental response of species, predicting their probability of occurrence, and assessing uncertainty in the model results.

iTag has been designed for researchers that rely on photographic census techniques of animals that are hard to detect via image recognition algorithms and was originally developed for counting Grey Seals in the German wadden sea during March 2013. It has since then been further expanded and has now reached beta status. iTag allows Users to define up to 9 different categories and name them accordingly. In addition, 4 modifiers are available to further increase the options during a tagging session. Users are able to load a series of Images into a session and add tags on objects on these images within previously defined categories and modifiers. Upon ending the session, result files are produced including (if provided by the EXIF data) the gps information for each Picture, the number of objects in each category and a detailed result file that describes each individual object. In addition, all images that were tagged are saved.
