Some relevant resource types:• Data sources:
• Species 2000 ‘Catalogue of Life’• Species Information Sources (SISs)
• e.g. AVH, SpeciesAnalyst, RDG, CBIF, MBG...DIGIR, ABCD etc
• Geographical• Boundaries of geographical & political units • Climate surfaces (Hadley, Paul Valdes' Palaeoclimate Data)
• Genetic sequences (EMBL, local data)• Analytic tools:
• Biodiversity richness assessment (WorldMap)• Bioclimatic modelling (Garp, CSM, Bioclim)• Phylogenetic analysis (Paup, clustalw, etc)

• Use climate model as a character within a phylogenetic analysis
• How do we code this?• How do we weight this?
• Use molecular clocks, palaeo-geography and palaeo-climate to investigate ancestral distributions
• Map climate variables onto a finished phylogeny
• Can we use these to choose between equally parsimonious trees?
