Phytoplankton Virtual Research Environment

The Phytoplankton Virtual Research Environment (Phyto VRE) is a collaborative working environment supporting researchers to address basic and applied studies on phytoplankton ecology. The Phyto VRE provides the IT infrastructure enabling researchers to obtain, share and analyse phytoplankton data at a level of resolution going from individual cells to whole assemblages. The Phyto VRE allows to:

• Obtain and share harmonised data on taxonomy and morphological traits by using the Atlas of Phytoplankton, Atlas of Shapes and Phytoplankton Traits Thesaurus.

• Discover, access, integrate and export both own and others’ datasets (including additional metadata) held by LifeWatch Italy Data Portal or distributed data centres.

• Share and create workflows through orchestrators such as Taverna Workbench using algorithms and web services.

• Work together in a real-time environment fostering the share of knowledge and overcoming the limitations of traditional working practices, e.g. the transfer of large datasets between users or power demanded by the computational analysis.

Service Name
Atlas of Phytoplankton
Service Description
This Atlas is a reference point for marine, transitional and freshwater scientists and students involved in phytoplankton identification and classification. It includes illustrative cards with information about: i) taxonomy, with pictures and schematic drawings, information on similar species and/or synonyms, references; ii) ecological characteristics and geographical distribution of species; and iii) morphological features, such as shape association, linear dimensions association and formulae for cell volume and surface computation.
Service Name
Atlas of Shapes
Service Description
The Atlas includes illustrative cards at hierarchical taxonomic level from phylum to genus to species. Each card consists of a detailed description of i) taxonomy, with pictures and schematic drawings, info on similar species and/or synonyms, references ii) ecological characteristics and geographical distribution of species and iii) morphological features, such as shape association, linear dimensions association and formulas for cell volume and surface.
