  <p>
     This is the Lifemapper documentation website, it contains
     information about how to use Lifemapper for single- and multi-species biodiversity
     analyses.
  </p>
  <p>
     The Lifemapper software is described in <a href="/overview">Overview</a>.  
     Lifemapper enables query and analyses of single and multi-species 
     distributions, alone or in conjunction with additional geographic and
     phylogenetic data.  Analyses are described in pages linked below, along with 
     simple tutorials and typical workflows.  Lifemapper provides single-species modeling 
     with SDM functions, and multi-species analyses of species communities, at landscape 
     levels over multiple dimensions, including time, geography, and phylogeny.
