Taxonomy
  • 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.
  • TreeBASE A Database of Phylogenetic Knowledge. TreeBASE is a relational database of phylogenetic information sponsored by Harvard University Herbaria, Leiden University EEW, and the University of California, Davis.
  • Guide to the Animal Kingdom for Students and Educators
  • Section for Biosystematic Documentation of the University of Ulm, Germany 
  • World Species List  Animals Plants Microbes
  • Index to Organism Names  The Index to Organism Names gives basic nomenclatural and hierarchy information for animal names, and links to other organizations' data for non-animal names. It can be used to identify the taxonomic group to which an organism belongs and to link to further information from Zoological Record or other collaborating organization
  • Botanical Nomenclature  International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (Tokyo Code), Electronic version. Adopted by the Fifteenth International Botanical Congress, Yokohama, August-September 1993
  • Bacterial Nomenclature
  • Viral Nomenclature  From  The International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses. To search for a virus name, visit Index Virum
  • NCBI Taxonomy Homepage
  • Curiosities of Biological Nomenclature by Mark Isaak
  • 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.
  • ITIS Integrated Taxonomic Information System  is a partnership of U.S., Canadian, and Mexican agencies, other organizations, and taxonomic specialists cooperating on the development of an on-line, scientifically credible, list of biological names focusing on the biota of North America.
  • ICZN International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature  is the official body responsible for providing and regulating the system for ensuring that every  animal has a unique and universally accepted scientific name.

  • Darwin Awards this link is here because there is no other place on the site for it (yet?) (maybe I should make a separate page for the humor links?)
