- Tree
of Life
- Organized by the Maddisons, this is an attempt to have
the entire phylogeny of life on earth (as currently understood)
on-line and accessible to everyone. The site has many pages
on fish and arthropods, with more coverage being added all
the time.
-
- TreeBASE
- Fledgling project to establish a relational database of
phylogenetic information, especially published trees and
data matrices. The project has begun by concentrating on
green plant data (particularly angiosperms), but hopes to
eventually include studies on all organisms, based on all
types of data.
- UCMP
Phylogeny Exhibit
- Educational exhibit on the major groups of life on earth,
with information about the fossil record, ecology, morphology,
and systematics of each group. Also try the UCMP
WebLift to Taxa, which is an index to all groups currently
treated.
