You may have noticed......	We recently implemented a number of changes to alltheworldsprimates.org based on your feedback, further thought and a few ideas we simply didn’t get around to completing before the initial release eight months ago. As you might expect, some changes are bug-fixes. Others are enhancements to make the site more useful and flexible.
New Searches Better Labels Improved Controls New Visual Key New Glossary New Data Field	New Categories for Search You can now search by selecting the taxonomic categories Genus or Family in addition to Infraorder. Much easier if you’re interested in a particular segment of the primate order. Taxa specific labels for tabs and windows In the past every tab/window containing an individual primate was called “Taxon Home” (not very clever). Now each tab or pop-up window (depending on how you have configured your browser) is labeled with the primate’s scientific name. This makes it easier to contrast and compare when multiple primates are open simultaneously. New Previous-Next Control Buttons Each primate tab now includes previous-next buttons. Instead of returning to the main page you may instead proceed to another primate alphabetically using these new controls. Primates chosen this way stay in a single tab/window so you no longer need to open a new tab for each animal. (Can if you want to, of course). Better yet, the previous-next buttons remember your original search condition. If, for example, you chose to search by Country, then chose Kenya and then selected a primate (see example below; the page remembers you are working in Kenya, so the previous-next buttons are Kenyan primates only. It also means that you may open multiple tabs, each with different search criteria; one a tab with Kenyan primates and a second with the genus Chlorocebus for example. This permits you to ask more sophisticated questions. New Visual Key to the Primates Genera In addition to choosing by geography, taxonomy and contributor, you may now search among primates by physical similarities and differences. The new Visual Key to the Primate Genera uses pictures and hints to discriminate among the primates to the genus level (example below). You will find this new option within “The Primate Order” in the top tab bar. Each taxa node additionally links to the Infraorder and Family as well as the full information on the primate you are viewing in the key. For individual members it became available March 21^st. We expect it to be available for colleges, zoos and other institutional members in the first half of April. New German Glossary Based on an early suggestion, we’ve included foreign language glossaries for the persons who wish to use the site and do not have an easy command of English. Scientific terms scrambled by Google Translate™ are indexed in a number of languages, this latest in German. We are always interested in more languages so if any of you are interested in translating into more languages, please contact us through the site. All help much appreciated. Total Estimated Population There were many requests for population estimates so we added this field to the database. The data for a given primate, when available, can be found by first choosing a primate and then locating “Population Estimate” in the “Conservation” tab bar. We invite contributors to add this information to their primates.
