Species distribution map Ecological niches H.3.7 Digital Libraries

A certain species' niche, i.e. those environmental conditions and resources which permit that species can survive and reproduce, is a basic piece of knowledge for monitoring ocean's populousness from both commercial point of view (to steer fishery activities to defined areas) and from the biological one (to monitor dying species). In the context of the European iMarine project (www.i-marine.eu), the Networked Multimedia Information Systems Laboratory (NeMIS) of the CNR Institute of Information Science and Technology (ISTI) has developed a tool for generating probabilistic species distribution maps that are proved to closely involve the interest of both industrial and scientific communities. This tool exploits Cloud Computing techniques to compare systems able to calculate the probability that a certain species can thrive in a given ocean's area, i.e., the probability that such a zone corresponds to its ecological niche.
