VERA is a Virtual Ecological Research Assistant (VERA) web application that enables users to construct conceptual models of ecological systems, and run interactive simulations of these models. This allows users to explore ecological systems and perform “what if” experiments to either explain an existing ecological system or attempt to predict the outcome of future changes to one. We have been working to generate ecological models that involve the species available in EOL with the highest visiting traffic and collect them here.
