Taxonomy
Invertebrates: Cephalopod - nautilus, squids,
cuttlefish, and octopuses
The Cephalopod Page
The Cephalopod Page was created and is maintained by James B. Wood (jamesbwood2000(at)yahoo.com), an
Assistant Research Scientist at the Bermuda
Biological Station for Research. An excellent resource
with lots of information at all levels. [Checkout The Cephalopod Page F.A.Q.]
Invertebrates: Cnidaria - anemones
Catalogue of sea
anemones, corals, and their allies
(orders Actiniaria, Ceriantharia, Corallimorpharia, Ptychodactiaria, Sceractinia and Zoanthidea) -- A compilation of publications concerning taxonomy, nomenclature, and geographic distribution of extant hexacorallians.
Invertebrates: Phylum Mollusca - includes Class
Bivalvia, Cephalopoda, Gastropoda, and Scaphopoda
The Mollusca Page
The Mollusca Page was created and is maintained by James B. Wood (jamesbwood(at)yahoo.com),
a graduate student of Ron O'Dor at Dalhousie University. An excellent resource
with lots of information at all levels.
Vertebrates: Fishes
Catalog
of the Species of Fishes
The California Academy of Sciences is offering a database containing about
53,500 described species and subspecies of fish. (Good for getting taxonomic
information)
ITIS home page
(also contains invertebrate taxonomy)
NOTE: The initial on-line ITIS database contains information from the National
Oceanographic Data Center's (NODC) Taxonomic Code Version 8.0. Certain
groups (see ITIS Data Status) are currently undergoing ITIS review and
will be updated shortly. Documentation of subsequent changes to the data
(change tracking) will be implemented in a step-wise fashion. The decision
to make the database available before many groups have been reviewed was
driven by the practical need to make ITIS operational.
