00:00:00,430 --> 00:00:06,110
Hello dear student, you are about to do a botanical sheet of a type of plant the teacher

2
00:00:06,110 --> 00:00:12,609
told you, in which you have to include taxonomical information such as genus and family, site

3
00:00:12,609 --> 00:00:17,670
from pictures and the distribution of that plant in the Iberian Peninsula.

4
00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:24,530
The only information you have is that you have to look for either a moss, fern, gymnosperm

5
00:00:24,530 --> 00:00:30,570
or an angiosperm, but there are a lot of plants and maybe you are a little bit lost.

6
00:00:30,570 --> 00:00:36,450
For that reason, I am going to show you a very special website that will be very helpful

7
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:38,030
for you.

8
00:00:38,030 --> 00:00:44,850
That website is called Diversidad Virtual and is made by people like you and I that

9
00:00:44,850 --> 00:00:51,289
take photos in nature and upload those pictures to the website, where some experts revise

10
00:00:51,289 --> 00:00:52,289
them.

11
00:00:52,289 --> 00:00:59,450
means that, in general, this is a very trustworthy website for our subject.

12
00:00:59,450 --> 00:01:07,909
The first thing you have to do is type on Google Biodiversidad Virtual, as I did, and

13
00:01:07,909 --> 00:01:11,650
you will access to the main website.

14
00:01:11,650 --> 00:01:18,489
Once you access there, you can scroll down and see all the information you have access

15
00:01:18,489 --> 00:01:19,769
to.

16
00:01:19,769 --> 00:01:28,010
You can access to the invertebrate gallery, birds gallery, but also geology gallery.

17
00:01:28,010 --> 00:01:32,010
In this task, we are interested in plant gallery.

18
00:01:32,010 --> 00:01:45,439
The first thing you can see here is that Biodiversidad Virtual is very well ordered in several folders.

19
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:51,400
In particular, we are interested in Banco Taxonomico Digital de la Flora Ibérica.

20
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:57,459
So you click on it and you will discover the main types of plant we are studying.

21
00:01:57,459 --> 00:02:05,939
This, this and this folder are about mosses or similar plants to mosses.

22
00:02:05,939 --> 00:02:13,000
Pteridophyta is the botanical name for ferns and Spermatophyta is the botanical name for

23
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,900
both gymnosperm and angiosperm.

24
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:21,280
If you click on one of these folders, for example, I will click on Spermatophyta, you

25
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:29,180
will discover, in this case, gymnosperma and angiosperma, and then you will have access

26
00:02:29,180 --> 00:02:32,000
to families.

27
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:41,360
So if you click on any family, for example, Pinnaceae, you access to the genus folder,

28
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:49,819
And if you access to genus, you have here, you will have access to the different species

29
00:02:49,819 --> 00:02:53,419
Biodiversidad Virtual has pictures of.

30
00:02:53,419 --> 00:03:04,759
In that case, you click on Pythia abies and here you have all the pictures about Pythia

31
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:07,400
abies, okay?

32
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:16,780
So the first thing you can observe by clicking in just one example is here you have the scientific

33
00:03:16,780 --> 00:03:26,280
name together with the author's name and who identify this picture.

34
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,719
This is the expert I was talking about before.

35
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:37,780
Here you observe the name of the persons who took the picture.

36
00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:49,219
But now you have access by using this website to the species name, of course to the genus,

37
00:03:49,219 --> 00:03:52,780
but also to the family name.

38
00:03:52,780 --> 00:03:57,740
However, you have to also look for the order and class.

39
00:03:57,740 --> 00:04:05,199
To do that, the best thing you can do is to copy the scientific name of the plant you

40
00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:19,660
you have selected and paste it on Google adding the word order or class.

41
00:04:19,660 --> 00:04:34,100
The order of Pythia abyss is conifers and the class is also conifers, both are the same.

42
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:44,839
Of course, you can use also this scientific name for looking for the distribution in the

43
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:54,439
Iberian Peninsula.

44
00:04:54,439 --> 00:05:02,519
Here you will observe different webpages from where you can obtain that kind of information.

45
00:05:02,519 --> 00:05:05,639
I hope this video was useful for you.

46
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:06,740
See you in class!
