[extropy-chat] iSpecies

[Amara Graps]

I learned from inkycircus (http://inkycircus.com/) about a very nice
implementation of EO Wilson's iSpecies:

http://darwin.zoology.gla.ac.uk/~rpage/ispecies/

Their http://ispecies.blogspot.com/ link gives more background, including
some wierdities with Google Scholar, of which I was previously unaware.

I tried in iSpecies: "Amara Carabidae", which are herbivorous beetles
used as weed control agents and sure enough! One of my namesakes
(http://www.amara.com/name.html) appeared in all of its
cockroach-squeamish glory.
