Surf these sites: A Comparison of the Schools of Taxonomy -- Brief Overview of phenetic, cladistic and evolutionary taxonomy. Biodiversity and Biological Collection Databases -- Information of interest to systematists and other organismic biologists, such as biological collections, taxonomic files, directories & ListServe archives, computer programs, reports by standards bodies (IOPI, ASC, SA2000, etc.), and access to on-line journals. Biodiversity, Systematics, & Collections -- Access to WWW sites that provide information on genetic diversity, species diversity, ecological diversity, and geopolitical perspectives. From the National Biological Information Infrastructure. Classification Lab -- A project examining the phylogenetic tree of life and all of its features. DELTA: Description Language for Taxonomy -- A flexible format for encoding taxonomic descriptions for computer processing. It can be used to produce natural-language descriptions, keys, classifications, and information-retrieval systems. Expert Center for Taxonomic Identification -- ETI is a non-governmental organisation in operational relations with UNESCO. Their mission is to develop scientific/educational computer-aided information systems, to improve general access to, and to promote use of taxonomic and biodiversity knowledge worldwide. Expert Center for Taxonomic Identification (ETI) -- Access to biodiversity/taxonomic databases through the University of Amsterdam - sponsored by UNESCO. Glossary of Phylogenetic Systematics -- An annotated, extensive hypertext glossary of the terminology of Phylogenetic Systematics, with a discussion and criticsm of mainstream Computer Cladistics. Journey into Phylogenetic Systematics -- Phylogenetic systematics is the way that biologists reconstruct the pattern of events that have led to the distribution and diversity of life. NCBI Taxonomy Homepage -- The NCBI Taxonomy Homepage Species 2000 -- Has the objective of enumerating all known species of plants, animals, fungi and microbes on Earth as the baseline dataset for studies of global biodiversity. It will also provide a simple access point enabling users to link from here to other data systems for all groups of organisms, using direct species-links. Taxonomy and Systematics at Glasgow -- information and resources about taxonomy and systematics at the university of Glasgow. The Tree of Life -- The Tree of Life is a project containing information about the diversity of organisms on Earth, their history, and characteristics. The information is linked together in the form of the evolutionary tree that connects all organisms to each other.
