Taxonomy Resources
Taxonomy
on the Web
A collection of websites with links to information on phyla in the Kingdom Animalia.
Many of the sites were developed for biology courses at major universities.
NCBI Taxonomy Browser
Do a search at NCBI to retrieve the complete lineage of your species. This database does allow searches by common name and is very complete. If you do not find your species, try a variation on the name, ex: crayfish instead of crawfish or mangroves vs. mangrove. If you need guidance, use the online help sheet.
