2018: Year in Review
2018: Year in Review
Another year has passed, which means it’s time again for a Year in Review. As I have done in the past, I am including links to a selection of posts that came out in 2018. Most of these posts are part of ongoing series. You can find the rest of the posts from 2018 in the Archives widget on the right side of the screen (or at the bottom of the page if you are viewing this on a mobile device).

i just discovered this incredible resource for free silhouette images of animals, plants and other life forms!! with the next 100 silhouettes, this database will have ten thousand (!!) silhouettes available!
Browse all the free silhouette images in PhyloPic.
Buy a Phylopic Shirt!
Phylopic.org is a fantastic website that provides free, reproducible silhouettes of living and extinct organisms for scientific figures, publications, posters, talks etc.
You can help keep the site online by buying this awesome t-shirt:

phylopic.org is SO GREAT. Here are the slides I just made out of phylopic to illustrate my Master Naturalist project, illustrating 12,000 years of large mammal diversity in my area...
There's this great website called http://phylopic.org which is a collection of free silhouette images, either public domain or creative commons, depending on the person who submitted it. Lots of people have been pitching in and we're at over 2000 images now, but there's still a whole lot more lifeforms left to do! Think of it as a giant pokédex for real life animals, and you're helping people too! Anyone can pitch in, if you've got some spare animal photos that you have taken yourself, just trace over them as a vector or in a raster format and submit them! These silhouettes are super useful for all sorts of things, but the main idea is to represent different lifeforms on a phylogenetic tree. Phylopic has some exciting features such as the ability to see the relationship between two organisms in a pictorial fashion. I really suggest you check it out!
Phylopic.org, owned and maintained by T. Michael Keesey, is an amazing website whose goal is to accumulate as many reusable silhouette images as possible of every organism on planet Earth. These images can be submitted by anyone and are free for anyone to use on presentations, projects, and artworks with appropriate credit.
But the really cool thing about Phylopic is its phylogenetic database. Its Python-based framework stores accurate phylogenetic data for every organism, so you can view a full phylogeny for any organism as many levels back as you want. As long as images are available for the taxa you're searching, this can result in beautiful evolutionary sequences like the one above showing the evolution of Homo sapiens.
This project is incredibly useful to researchers, students, artists and laymen alike, and needs to be supported! The creator is now selling this gorgeous t-shirt (definitely the most accurate "evolutionary sequence" t-shirt available anywhere) in order to cover costs of web hosting. Please considering purchasing one or spread the word!
