Welcome!

Eco-Tools is a web-accessible means of performing commonly-needed and useful calculations in ecology and conservation biology. No special software is required, and all algorithms are open-source and based on standard references.

The site is currently under development, and is for testing and evaluation. Many parts are missing. If you would like to try it, the “v1.x.x” tools are the most complete. Eco-Tools is intended to be an evolving resource based on input from the ecology and conservation community. Your comments, corrections and suggestions are welcome. See the Contributing link below for details.

If you use an eco-tools module, please e-mail admin@eco-tools.net and tell us (as briefly as you can) what you used and why. It will help us develop the site!
