Web app to search GBIF occurrence records over time period by using the GBIF RESTFUL JSON based API (http://api.gbif.org/v1/)
More information about the map API on http://www.gbif.org/developer/maps. This example is using the L.tileLayer method from Leafletjs
var gbif = L.tileLayer('http://api.gbif.org/v1/map/density/tile?x={x}&y={y}&z={z}&type=TAXON&key=1&layer=OBS_NO_YEAR&layer=SP_NO_YEAR&layer=OTH_NO_YEAR&layer=OBS_1900_1910&layer=SP_1900_1910&layer=OTH_1900_1910&layer=OBS_1910_1920&layer=SP_1910_1920&layer=OTH_1910_1920&layer=OBS_1920_1930&layer=SP_1920_1930&layer=OTH_1920_1930&layer=OBS_1930_1940&layer=SP_1930_1940&layer=OTH_1930_1940&layer=OBS_1940_1950&layer=SP_1940_1950&layer=OTH_1940_1950&layer=OBS_1950_1960&layer=SP_1950_1960&layer=OTH_1950_1960&layer=OBS_1960_1970&layer=SP_1960_1970&layer=OTH_1960_1970&layer=OBS_1970_1980&layer=SP_1970_1980&layer=OTH_1970_1980&layer=OBS_1980_1990&layer=SP_1980_1990&layer=OTH_1980_1990&layer=OBS_1990_2000&layer=SP_1990_2000&layer=OTH_1990_2000&layer=OBS_2000_2010&layer=SP_2000_2010&layer=OTH_2000_2010&layer=OBS_2010_2020&layer=SP_2010_2020&layer=OTH_2010_2020&layer=LIVING&layer=FOSSIL&palette=yellows_reds');

A short description of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) from the official webpage http://www.gbif.org
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) is an international
open data infrastructure, funded by governments.
It allows anyone, anywhere to access data about all types of life on Earth,
shared across national boundaries via the Internet.
By encouraging and helping institutions to publish data according to common standards,
GBIF enables research not possible before, and informs better decisions to conserve
and sustainably use the biological resources of the planet.
GBIF operates through a network of nodes, coordinating the biodiversity information
facilities of Participant countries and organizations, collaborating with each other
and the Secretariat to share skills, experiences and technical capacity.
