• 06/13/2009 - Find pages easier using species names in the web page URLs.
  You can now more easily find EOL species pages by appending the species name you are interested to the "http://www.eol.org/" URL (either scientific or common). If the name is an exact match, you will be transferred directly to the page (e.g. http://www.eol.org/lugworm), otherwise you'll be sent to the search page so you can choose the species you were referring to (e.g. http://www.eol.org/platypus). Either way, once you arrive on the species page, you'll see the unique numeric identifier for that species in the URL (in the form of http://www.eol.org/pages/ID). Once on a species page, you can replace the numeric "ID" parameter with another search term in the URL and continue searching or browsing.
• 06/10/2009 - Welcoming new partners: University of Alberta Museums are providing more than a thousand Lepidoptera pages (e.g. Pink-edged sulphur), and STRI is sharing Shorefishes of the Tropical Eastern Pacific.
