Taxonomy

The Tree of Life
http://phylogeny.arizona.edu/tree/phylogeny.html

A distributed Internet project containing information about phylogeny and biodiversity. The Tree of Life Phylogenetic Navigator is a system designed to link biological information available on the Internet. It provides taxonomic and systematic information (diversity, phylogeny) of various groups of organisms. The display of these links is in the form of a phylogenetic tree linking the organisms
