Catalogue and describe existing biological data, according to the NBII standards, to minimize duplication of costly data collection efforts and identify important data gaps. Promote awareness of existing biological datasets and provide training and tools to facilitate their usage into areas of planning, management, and education. The Wyoming Bioinformation Node is a component of the Wyoming Natural Resources Data Clearinghouse at the University of Wyoming.
All downloadable data is accompanied by federally-compliant metadata.
Some metadata is also available to provide contacts for datasets that are not available on-line. This internet map server was developed to make the Colorado Cutthroat Trout database, developed by the U.S. Forest Service, available on-line. Interactive capability allows web users to view and query different map overlays, as well as zoom and pan over portions of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. This site was developed by UW's Dept. of Renewable Resources. This on-line atlas contains the distribution maps, habitat information and references for the 445 terrestrial vertebrates species mapped for Wyoming by the Gap Analysis program.
