Using Taxotoy

Taxatoy is an application that graphs the number of new species discovered every year, from 1750 to 2000. I thought I would compare the data I find from this site for our phyloinformatics project..

It seems that this site might need an update, since our timeline for the years 1992-2000 differs a bit in the results we are viewing in the site.

Graphs to be compared in our analysis paper...

Results from Google Ngram Viewer. Showing the number of scientific papers and books referring to new mammal species during the years 1992-2008. The results are those expected.
