I want to know applications of geoinformatics in zoology, botany, and environmental sciences.
Very broad question
One shpere is Remote sensing applied by means of wide range of different techniques and instruments in land cover monitoring including plant and animal populations, marine ecosystems, water bodies dynamics, geology, build up changes, human impact analysis etc.
In zoology is that f.e. monitoring of migration paths by using the telemetry or direct observation, nest localities of migrating birds. In botany then monitoring of rare, endandered and protected species occurrence. Most actual is the invasive species issue. Most common techniques of data collecting is by the mobile GIS device. Then evaluation of sinantropisation of animal species is well possible by using the GI. The ecosystems are connected trough so it is neccesary to evaluate the relationships together. On the other way, animals are dynamic entities so they need specific observation and recording techniques.
RS, GPS and GIS constitutes geoinformatics. It has wide range of applications in life sciences particularly in zoology, botany & environmental studies also. it can be used for fishries, oil spills, for mapping forest fires, migration path of birds & animals, mapping of forest cover & types, agricultural encroachment, etc.

GIS information may be a good use to locate endangered species for example.
It good to have on a map site where different investigations have been carry out. And that may be facilitated by Geo-referencing locations.
