MeSH Cloud for Ursus maritimus
The LigerCat-generated MeSH cloud for polar bear shown above is just one of the over 50,000 species specific clouds now displayed at the Encyclopedia of Life. If a species has been mentioned in the abstract or title of an article indexed by Medline, LigerCat – a PubMed exploration tool – is able to create a species-specific tag cloud displaying the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) that have also been attributed to those articles. These MeSH clouds can be used to explore the biomedical literature that specifically applies to the organism chosen. This collaboration between the Biology of Aging Portal and EOL helps make EOL pages more relevant to scientists studying aging.
Biomedical Terms
You can find the MeSH clouds under the Table of Contents Chapter Heading – Biomedical Terms on EOL Species Pages.
