Species Explorer is an and user interface designed for niche modelling applications such as AquaMaps.
The GUI offers the following facilities :
- Search for all species matching given criteria
- Inspect stored information about a selected species
- Inspect all maps related to a given species
- Store maps to current user's [Workspace]

Species Mode Vs. Maps Mode
The portlet operates in 2 different mutual exclusive modes, which affect the displayed information type and the offered functionalities:
- Species Mode
- This mode is the default one. While in this mode, information listed in the main grid correspond to species entries in the environment dataset. Search facilities are enabled. Users can switch to Maps mode by selecting a species entry and clicking the show related maps button in the grid's upper toolbar.
- Maps Mode
- While in this mode, information listed in the main grid correspond to map entries in the environment dataset. Search facilities are not enabled.Users can switch to Maps mode by selecting a species entry and clicking the return to species mode button in the grid's upper toolbar.
Grid Views
Available species are shown in 3 different mutual exclusive layouts :
- Images View : shows a list of thumbnail, one per species. By clicking on a thumbnail, a sidebar is opened showing all available details for that species.
- Descriptive View : shows a grid with compound fields in which displayed information is aggregated.
- Scientific View : lists species in a tabular data form.
Users can switch between the 3 layouts above by clicking the related button on the grid's upper toolbar.
