ENT 502: Insect Systematics

Entomology Information on the Internet

• Insecta. Tree of Life
  The Tree of Life Web Project is intended to be used by "those interested in locating information about a particular group of organisms, by biologists seeking identification keys, figures, phylogenetic trees, and other systematic information for a group of organisms, and by educators teaching about organismal diversity." Originally designed for biologists, the project is now also including information of interest to non-biologists, such as middle and high school students. The site includes links to other entomology Web sites.
• Morphbank
  Morphbank is an open web repository of biological images documenting specimen-based research in comparative anatomy, morphological phylogenetics, taxonomy and related fields focused on increasing our knowledge about biodiversity.
• Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)
  GBIF facilitates the digitization and global dissemination of primary biodiversity data (e.g., maps showing distribution of species, provided by natural history museums), so that people from all countries can benefit from the use of the information.
