Ecologue

Mobile and web applications for ecologists to track, manage and store ecological data.

A new data management application for ecologists

Ecologue is a part of our new data management system which is dedicated to ecological research. The concept of creating this platform has emerged from our DNA profiling work for thousands of ecological projects, large and small performed by DArT in the last decade.

As we recognised that a large proportion of genetic data generated for those projects is often lost or not stored properly due to limited funding and IT capacity of researchers, we made a decision to develop a dedicated solution that complements agriculturally-focused KDDart platform.

Environmental data management

Ecologue is designed not only for genetic and sequence data storage, but also to integrate these data with sample metadata and and environmental data for the locations at which the biological samples were collected.

Access from any device

The platform consists at the moment of mobile app which is fast approaching its release (Android first, followed closely by iOS) and web application that interacts seamlessly with the app.

For flexible field data collection and project management

Ecologue is a user-friendly app suite designed to simplify and standardise ecological data capture in the field. Whether you’re conducting biodiversity surveys, managing ecological projects, or linking observations with genetic data, Ecologue offers a streamlined experience for capturing and managing field data across devices.

Available as both a web and Android mobile application, Ecologue connects directly to the OneDArT platform, ensuring all field-collected information is securely linked with your project data and ready for downstream analysis.
