Search
for all Species in an Area
Finding every animal or plants species in an area that you specify is one
of the major high-speed functions for Wild
Things of Greater Melbourne, and the
process is a very simple one.
Find the area to search
You may use the navigational tools in Wild
Things to find the map tile
you wish to use in your search. Or you may use the place name index
to find the tile for you (e.g. the example on the right looks for Emerald
a small town east of Melbourne). Once selected the map tile will
load and the place name will be circled in red.
Define the area to search
In Wild Things this process is very simple. Just click the Select
Grid option, move the cursor to the area you want to search, then
click the left mouse button. This will draw a 1-minute grid on the
map. You may then repeat this process as many times as you like
until the entire area you want to search is covered. (Note:
some of the grids may be coloured red because there is, as yet, no data
recorded for them).
Create a list of all species in the
search area
This is done with a single mouse click after which a full list of all
species in the area will be displayed. You may then export that
list, display text and pictures for any species, filter the list on any
characteristics or do anything that can be done with the full species
list.
