Provides biodiversity knowledge about all known species, including their taxonomy, geographic distribution, collections, genetics, evolutionary history, morphology, behavior, ecological relationships, and importance for human well being.
Collection of information about biodiversity compiled collaboratively by hundreds of expert and amateur contributors. Contains pictures, text, and other information for species living or extinct and the hierarchy of life, phylogeny and evolution.
Database of animal natural history, distribution, classification, and conservation biology. Contains species accounts about individual animal species and descriptions of levels of organization above the species level, especially phyla, classes, and in some cases, orders and families.
There is no official classification of prokaryotes, but the names given to prokaryotes are regulated. This website includes the nomenclature of prokaryotes and the nomenclatural changes as cited in the literature.
