Interactive Matrix Software
You and your colleagues can share and develop a matrix on MorphoBank in real time, with or without images.
Import specimen images
Document your scientific use of major collections
Run MorphoBank trees in CIPRES
Run a matrix and search for trees using the Parsimony Ratchet at CIPRES without leaving the web.
Citation Information
Software reference and permalinks for your peer-reviewed publications.
Sharing Data during Review
Assigning an anonymous reviewer login to share your data with reviewers during peer review at a journal.
Uploading CT Scan Files
MorphoBank can now accept CT scan files and derived 3D surfaces for inclusion in your project. Dynamic animations are displayed with the symbol shown here. See the manual for details.
Non-discrete matrix data
MorphoBank now has code to support continuous in matrices data - as such - in TNT format.
DOIs for your Project
DOIs for projects and matrices.
Hub for morphology
Morphology matrices in one searchable database and images curated by morphologists from their peer-reviewed research
Import media from EOL
Scientists can bring in and curate media from Encyclopedia of Life collections.
