Our goal is to make publicly available the demographic knowledge based on population projection matrices of species in the plant and animal kingdoms, and to facilitate its usage for scientific and teaching purposes.
This database comprises of the two former databases, COMPADRE and COMADRE and they are collectively referred to here as "The Demography Database"
The Demography Database is an open-access database – we only request users to register and log in prior to accessing data. This is simply so we can keep a track on how much the database is getting used. This knowledge will be extremely useful for us as we try to secure funding to maintain and grow the database over the coming years.
The database is now supported and hosted at the University of Exeter (Penryn Campus, Cornwall, United Kingdom). The database was formerly hosted at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (Rostock, Germany) and we would like to thank the team at the Max Planck for all their hard work so far.
