Shinyapp for biologist: apps and usage tutorial

Welcome! This is my first R Shiny project—a collection of simple, interactive apps designed to support biologists working in biodiversity monitoring and species distribution mapping.

These apps:

• Allow users to upload and explore biodiversity datasets
• Generate interactive maps using leaflet
• Provide an accessible starting point for visualizing species distribution patterns

You can explore the code and try it yourself here:
GitHub Repo

While these tools are still a work in progress, they’re built with the goal of making biodiversity data analysis more accessible, engaging, and interactive, especially for field researchers and students.

Why I Built This

As a biologist, I often wished for lightweight, user-friendly tools that didn’t require advanced programming knowledge to analyze spatial biodiversity data. Shiny gives us a way to build just that interactive dashboards powered by R.

I hope these apps can help others explore their ecological data more intuitively, even as I continue to refine and expand their features.

Let’s Collaborate

Interested in using or customizing these apps for your own work? Want to build something together?

I’m open to collaborations, projects, or teaching opportunities.
