definition: Lifemapper (LM) produces a comprehensive archive of species' geographical distribution maps. It intends to re-architect the LM species data archive and update it with models derived from museum data. Therefore, a software package called DesktopGarp has been developed in order to allow the users to predict and analyze wild species distributions using GARP algorithm, choosing different parameters, environmental layers and custom statistical methods. This tool supports the community ecologists by modeling the a) Ecological niche, b) Species richness and abundances. Two of the most important concepts from the community ecology applied to biodiversity. Information provided by http://gcmd.nasa.gov/records/uklmGARP.html
