Tree of Life - From the web page: "The Tree of Life is a collaborative web project, produced by biologists from around the world. On more than 2600 World Wide Web pages, the Tree of Life provides information about the diversity of organisms on Earth, their history, and characteristics."

The History of Life - Berkeley's mega reference on earth history, evolution and the diversity of life. Includes a very informational Tree of Life competitor and resources on Evolutionary theory.

Digital Taxonomy - From the web site: "...is an attempt to present a wide-ranging resource of information for biodiversity data management in the World Wide Web, and promote the effective use of computers for handling biological sofware development projects."

OBIS - Ocean Biogeographic Information System. From the web page: "[OBIS] is a web-based provider of global geo-referenced information on accurately identified marine species. We contain expert species level and habitat level databases and provide a variety of spatial query tools for visualizing relationships among species and their environment. OBIS strives to assess and integrate biological, physical, and chemical oceanographic data from multiple sources."
