Founded in 1929, the Institute of Biology is one of the largest and most complex university dependencies dedicated to research. Its 151 members of academic staff are grouped into two departments, Botany and Zoology, the Botanical Garden and the Western Unit and the Tropical Biology Station Los Tuxtlas, the latter two located in Western Mexico and Veracruz respectively . Most of the projects carried out at the Institute are aimed at increasing our knowledge of biodiversity, with particular emphasis on the study of the composition, distribution, origins and potential uses of flora, fauna and fauna elements. the mushrooms of Mexico.

UNIBIO
The UNIBIO is the Informatics Unit for Biodiversity of the Institute of Biology and as such is responsible for systematizing and publishing on the Internet the information on biodiversity that is kept in the different biological collections from the Institute of Biology of the UNAM, besides developing systems to access and analyze it.
The mission of the UNIBIO is to create and maintain an electronic information system that automates and manages the data stored in the biological collections of the Institute of Biology, to later contribute to its analysis, creating systems of interpretation and exploitation of data based on geographic information and specialized software.

Similmatrix Similarity indices and presence-absence matrix Similmatrix is a tool to calculate indexes of similarity between pairs of communities or taxa. The program allows you to choose the index to be used from a list of several, such as the Jaccard, Simpson or Braum-Blanquet indexes, among others. The program accepts as input a presence-absence matrix and generates a similarity matrix. |
