Let your biologist know that they can now get cut-and-paste ready Threatened & Endangered Species data for projects in Texas. Cubit Planning just launched a new Biological Resources Report (beta). Today, this report includes Threatened & Endangered Species data from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. We plan to add data from other sources, such as USFWS, NCRS, and state agencies, in the near future.
This report is free for a limited time. Check out the sample report below.

So how does Cubit keep our data up-to-date?
Just like Google and Yahoo, Cubit uses bots! Wikipedia defines bots as “software applications that run automated tasks over the Internet. Typically, bots perform tasks that are both simple and structurally repetitive, at a much higher rate than would be possible for a human alone.”
Every day, the Cubit bot visits the TPWD’s website to check if their species data has been updated. If TPWD updates their data, the Cubit bot tells me, and I update the Cubit database with the new data that day. So Cubit’s data is as up-to-date as you would get if you visited TPWD directly and downloaded data from their website.
Anthony and I think bots are super cool and love to geek out over them! If you have any questions about how Cubit bots work, contact me—I’ll try not to talk your ear off!
Don’t cite Cubit; cite the original source!
