Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of internet information processing, in particular to a biological geographic distribution query display system and a biological geographic distribution query display method.
Background
Biodistribution is the geographic distribution of living beings. The distribution range of any biological classification unit (species, genus, family or subspecies, varieties, etc.) on the earth's surface is called its distribution region, and the distribution regions of different classification units have large differences in size and shape, which depend on both the distribution capability of the organism itself and the external conditions to which it is subjected, as well as historical factors, etc. It is generally accepted that biodistribution is primarily determined by latitude and sea-land locations. These two factors determine the climate of the area, which directly affects the temperature and precipitation of the area.
With the advent of the big data era, traditional biodiversity research has gradually transitioned to data-intensive scientific research. According to different levels of biodiversity, utilization values and protective measures, establishing various databases is an important basic work for promoting biodiversity protection, education and research.
On the other hand, since animals and plants exported in china have increased year by year in recent years, no complete metadata database for identifying origin, characterizing physical properties, genetic characterization, etc. has been established, and no system for rapidly tracing the origin of a living organism and displaying the same has been developed, so that protection of a specific strategic biological resource cannot be effectively achieved.
At present, the regulation of biological resources faces a great dilemma. For example, special living beings in customs ports and the like in China are mainly identified manually (i.e., manually unpacked and visually checked and distinguished), the checking mode is time-consuming and labor-consuming, and certain stolen special biological resources can not be checked accurately and comprehensively, so that the biological resources are gradually lost year by year.
Therefore, there is an urgent need for a system and method for displaying the geographic distribution of a living being, which can automatically identify the living being, acquire the species name of the living being, and trace and visualize the source of the living being.
