Wikidata:WikiProject Echinodermata
A repository pertaining to: edit
- collating information, resources, and more related to the phylum Echinodermata
- connecting with other Echinoderm researchers
- finding references and visualized models
Project Basis edit
Accessibility of carefully curated information on extinct echinoderm taxa is lacking, largely due to the low number of global experts for this animal group. This project will curate accessible information for the general public and online learners through pre-existing platforms and collate information for echinoderm researchers and scientists. As data and resources on echinoderm groups are currently spread across many digital platforms (MorphoSource, MorphoBank, digiMorph, etc.), our team aims to collate references (e.g., through a curated Google Scholar account) on previously developed websites (e.g., NSF-funded Assembling the Echinoderm Tree of Life), supplementary data from publications (e.g., Dryad, Zenodo), and information as a comprehensive tool kit of references for future and current echinoderm paleobiologists.
