  The Future of Biodiversity: Mapping and Predicting the Distribution of Life with Distributed Computation
Lifemapper harvests the geographical information associated with specimens and repurposes it as input data for predictive modeling of species distributions.
The Lifemapper project aims to highlight the role of biological collections institutions in the documentation of biological diversity by delivering specimen data to the desktops of PC users worldwide.
Lifemapper was created at the Biodiversity Research Center at the University of Kansas in collaboration with USGS Biological Resources, the University of New Mexico, the University of California--Berkeley, California Academy of Sciences, the University of Massachusetts--Boston, and the Reference Center for Environmental Information (CRIA), Sao Paulo, Brazil.

"The new Lifemapper screensaver runs on Windows PCs [Win98 SE and later], and by donating their spare cycles people are directly helping to assemble a powerful, predictive digital library of Earth's biological diversity," said Jim Beach, assistant director for Informatics at the Biodiversity Research Center of the University of Kansas.
For example, using Lifemapper's predictions of animal and plant distributions, researchers will be able to model and simulate the spread of emerging diseases, plant and animal pests, or invasive species of plants and animals, as well as their effects on natural resources, agricultural crops, and human populations.
Once the set of rules is obtained, Lifemapper then identifies the regions on the map that match the rules in the mathematical model, that is, that match the preferred environment for the species.

 Smart Mobs: Lifemapper: Distributed Biodiversity Mapping
Posted by Howard at 10:33 AM Lifemapper is a SETI@home-like project for creating species range predictions.
By using Lifemapper as your computer's screen saver, you will help discover knowledge of the life of the planet for the benefit of the Earth, its inhabitants and its environments.
Lifemapper analyzes the data, computes the ecological profile of each species, maps where the species has been found and predicts where each species could potentially live.

Lifemapper: Mapping and Predicting the Distribution of Life with Distributed Computation, James Beach (The University of Kansas).
To parallelize the computation of each independent species prediction we created a screen-saver client that performs predictive analyses on desktop computers before uploading the resulting model to the Lifemapper server.
Lifemapper uses the GARP algorithm (Genetic Algorithm for Rule-set Production), ESRI's ArcIMS (Internet Map Server), ArcSDE (Spatial Database Engine) and Microsoft's SQL Server as its primary software components.

The technical answers about just what Lifemapper does, and how it works through individual work units, are found in this paper (http://gis.esri.com/library/userconf/proc02/pap0769/p0769.htm) that the LM team presented.
Nor is it clear if anyone is requesting specific data or if the project is systematically generating the data on all available species.
Lifemapper doesn't appear to have obvious commercial value, but may have a great appeal for those who are environmentally active.

Version 1.1.0 of Lifemapper's screen-saver client displays an incorrect value for the current user's total time.
For example, time value might be displayed as "6d 14h 0.24min" when the correct value should really be "6d 14h 14m 19s".
The Lifemapper team will implement a fix for this problem in the next release (1.1.01) of the screen-saver client.
