Niche Analyst (NicheA) was developed based on the BAM framework which allows users to create virtual spaces and virtual species, and to analyze ecological niches in both multivariate environmental and geographic spaces, linking views of the niche in the two spaces. The unique functionality in NicheA, not available in other software programs, is estimating Grinnellian niches of species based on environmental variables and occurrence records, but with a clear focus on fundamental ecological niches. NicheA can display ecological niches; calculate their shape, density, location, and other attributes; and quantify similarity among multiple niches.

Virtual Laboratory Environment
A multi-modeling and simulation environment to study complex systems
VLE is a multi-modeling and simulation environment to study complex dynamic systems. VLE is based on the discrete event specification DEVS. and it implements the DSDE formalism (A merge of Dynamic Structure DEVS, DSDEVS, with Parallel DEVS, PDEVS). VLE provides a complete set of C++ libraries, called VFL (VLE Foundation Libraries), to develop DEVS models, to gets results of simulations, to launch simulation on cluster. The models can be developed with the DEVS formalism or with the classical mathematical formalism: Ordinary Differential Equation with Euler, Range-Kutta or QSS integrator, Finite state automaton (FDDEVS, UML State chart, Hybrid Petri net). The VLE environment provides an IDE to develop C++ models, DEVS coupled models. VLE have also three ports to use the VFL with Python, Java and R programming languages. -

Biogenesis Color Mod
Mod for evolution simulation and artificial life program Biogenesis
You can download the Color Mod at the Biogenesis main site too (included in the main download now). You also find the sourcecode there. If you want to post a review, remember that this is only a modification, so comment on my changes, not on the simulation. Original project by Joan Queralt Molina: https://sourceforge.net/projects/biogenesis/ Includes Tyler Colemans "Features Mod": https://sourceforge.net/projects/biogenesisfeatu/ Biogenesis discussion forum: https://sourceforge.net/p/biogenesis/discussion/ Biogenesis runs faster (at least for myself) if you open a Google Chrome window (don´t know why :D) -

Habfuzz
A command-line tool for data-driven fuzzy modelling
Input 1 - A training dataset (multiple observations) of up to four variables (predictors) against one (response variable) Input 2 - A test dataset (multiple observations) of the same four variables with unknown response variable Output - Calculation of the response variable for each test observation using fuzzy logic or fuzzy rule-based Bayesian algorithms HABFUZZ is a habitat model, which can be used in ecohydraulic modelling applications for the calculation of the instream habitat suitability in various discharge scenarios in a simulated river reach. It comes with no graphical user interface but it's a one-click tool. Just provide your input and let HABFUZZ provide you the output.

iTag
Tag images using various categories and modifiers
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. -

BEAST
BEAST is a tool dedicated to assess political goals of woody bioenergy
The BioEnergy Allocation and Simulation Tool (BEAST) is a tool dedicated to assess political goals of woody bioenergy production in the context of available biomass potentials and corresponding economic and ecological criteria on a regional level. It is a useful tool in participative decision making processes by iterative simulation and visualization of complex issues. BEAST is a data- and model-driven Decision Support System (DSS) evaluating woody biomass potentials from forests, hedges and trees outside forests as well as short rotation coppice (SRC). The latter one is modelled spatially explicit. This opens the possibility to identify prefered areas for SRC production under different restrictions and goals. Forest wood and wood from outside forests are treated only aggregated. -
