CBRI’s interactive websites invite the public and fellow scientists to learn about our research, share the results, and become engaged in the effort to conserve biodiversity. Explore dynamic maps of the specimens collected in the Gaoligong Shan Biodiversity Survey or submit a Seahorse DNA sequence to the Seahorse Sleuth website.

Gaoligong Shan Biodiversity Survey Website and Interactive Maps

Over the past ten years, Academy scientists and local collaborators have been exploring the rugged terrain and surveying the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Shan (GLGS) region in southwest Yunnan Province, China. Visitors to the GLGS Biodiversity Survey Website can explore the areas surveyed by the project participants, view photos of the organisms collected, and map the collections in the Academy’s first interactive mapping tool.

Seahorse Sleuth

Seahorse Sleuth Website

Seahorse Sleuth is a website that enables users to identify seahorse species using DNA sequences. Seahorse Sleuth compares a nucleotide sequence submitted by the user with a set of annotated reference sequences from vouchered seahorse specimens. Seahorse Sleuth is implemented within DNA Surveillance, a computer system developed at the University of Auckland which applies standard phylogenetic methods to identify the affinity of the DNA sequences that you submit. Seahorse Sleuth is a site designed as a tool to identify the species and ultimately the geographic origin of seahorses found in international trade using DNA sequence data.
