The Tree of Life Web Project is a collaborative effort of biologists and nature enthusiasts from around the world. On more than 10,000 World Wide Web pages, the project provides information about biodiversity, the characteristics of different groups of organisms, and their evolutionary history.
The Project’s goals are:
• To present information about every species and significant group of organisms on Earth, living and extinct, authored by experts in each group.
• To present a modern scientific view of the evolutionary tree that unites all organisms on Earth.
• To aid learning about and appreciation of biological diversity and the evolutionary Tree of Life.
• To share information with other databases and analytical tools, and to phylogenetically link information from other databases.
