Each atlas applies COMPASS ID to a whole family or domain — classifying its literature, geocoding its study sites, and revealing where research is thick, where it is absent, and how it lines up against real-world need. All are open and interactive.
Geolocated study sites
The dogbane family gave medicine vincristine and reserpine. Yet across the species we censused, most have no indexed research at all.
Geolocated study sites
The Brazil-nut family (Lecythidaceae) underpins livelihoods and non-timber forest economies across the Amazon basin. This atlas maps the ecology, trade, and communities behind it — and where the science thins out.
Geolocated study sites
Land degradation, drought, and desertification threaten the world’s drylands and the people who depend on them. This atlas classifies the literature across environmental, socioeconomic, and policy dimensions.
Geolocated study sites
Fungi are a vast, essential kingdom — central to soils, forests, food, and medicine — and remain thinly studied relative to their diversity. This atlas maps the fungal literature to show how much of the kingdom is still a blank space.
Geolocated study sites
The only continent run entirely by treaty. This atlas maps the indexed science of ice, climate, and Antarctic life against the Antarctic Treaty System, the Madrid Protocol, and CCAMLR — and shows how little of it engages the governance system that actually runs the continent.
These atlases are beta releases built on a partial corpus. A blank region means “no indexed study found,” not “no research exists.” We publish our methods and measured accuracy openly.
How the method works →We are building atlases across new families, taxa, regions, and themes, and we prioritize them by real demand. Are you an organization or researcher who wants an evidence atlas for your field, species group, or region? Tell us what you would map, and we will see if we can build it.
