The main page now offers a link under the Reference section containing an annotated bibliography for the project. The bibliography was compiled by the students in BIO 3416 as they researched background material on mapping techniques and the flora/fauna of Costa Rica. It is important to have a broad overview of what this research will entail by looking at what others have conducted in the field. We hope to add to this bibliography with even more detailed citations and additional references after we return from Costa Rica.

If you are using a small computer screen, you may need to scroll the page down to see three "Zoom To" buttons and some notes. Select the visible layers by using the "+" button on the upper right of the map.
A version using Virtual Earth for the underlay should be uploaded in the next 2-3 days.
For those interested in the technical details, most of the map layers are being served by MapServer as WMS tiles to OpenLayer. OpenLayer adds the (KML) Leaves & Lizards layer at the client level.
