Features Lifemap - Tree of Life

Lifemap is a tool to interactively explore the Tree of Life by zooming and panning in a manner similar to geographic maps.
All nodes and tips of the tree are interactive.
On click, a brief description and a picture of the group is displayed.
This description is retrieved from Wikipedia.
Lifemap also allows computing and visualizing the "route" between two species or groups of species, or between any species and the root of the Tree of Life.
The tree that is displayed contains around 800,000 species.
It is a simplified version of the taxonomy proposed by the NCBI ((National Center for Biotechnology Information).
Other versions of the Tree of Life can be explored with Lifemap at http://lifemap.univ-lyon1.frLifemap was written by Damien de Vienne, a CNRS researcher working in the Laboratory of Biometry and Evolutionary Biology (LBBE) in Lyon (France) with support from the informatics department.
- KNOWN BUGS - Bug reported on Alcatel OneTouch with Android 4.2- Support for adding species to "favorites" (restored on restart)- Tree can be displayed in french - Two possible servers for the english version - Choice of language for the interface: FR or EN- Choice of language for the species descriptions (FR, EN, IT, ES, CA,RU).

What Our Users Say

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.

"Nice to have that one. I have to show someone that evolution tree and then find this."

Süleyman Özgür

"Wonderful app! Fantastic interface."

Scott LaRocca

"Very well designed educational and reference tool"

Joe Levy

"Remarkable, impressive. Looking forward to updates and revisions as they become available. While some current research does not always completely agree with certain displayed relationships, the divergences seem to be minor. Perhaps a geologic timescale to suggest probable times of clade origins would be useful."

Robert Tuck

"The scientific names of the animals are not all correct. I spent 3 minutes on the app and noticed Theraposa Blondi the Bird Eating Spider was listed as Chilean Rose Hair. Good effort tho."

Brian Bieza

"Incomplete. Pterosauria is missing. I even tried searching lower classifications. Pretty disappointed. Edit: Anyways, thanks for the response. The app itself is impressive, though extinct lineages are missing like Tiktaalik Roseae."

Xaphiron MacBryde

"Very nice. The GUI is absolutely fantastic. You can travel from a specific species, viewing many branches along the journey, to the start of it all."

Kenneth Cooper

"The app interface is sort of ugly. Lots of the ranks say "no rank" as if someone hasn't had time to type them in and the way the balls of same length lines look just isn't appealing. I deeply wish they'd have more options or even customizations on how to view the tree. For example as an actual cornered tree where you could hide and open branches as you wish, miMind style. The way it is with the unclassified species being thrown in with the rest in their own balls of lines just feels unrefined."

Pessi Räisänen

"still downloading. i wonder if a Tree Of Life from the Kabbalah/Cabalah/Qabala could be turned into an an artificial neural network."

Angelina Robert

"It is back to normal again, so I'll fix my rating back. I do love this app though."
