Integrated Taxonomic Information System Tree of Life Web Project The Tree of Life Web Project (ToL) 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 (phylogeny). Each page contains information about a particular group, e.g., salamanders, segmented worms, phlox flowers, tyrannosaurs, euglenids, Heliconius butterflies, club fungi, or the vampire squid. ToL pages are linked one to another hierarchically, in the form of the evolutionary tree of life. Starting with the root of all Life on Earth and moving out along diverging branches to individual species, the structure of the ToL project thus illustrates the genetic connections between all living things.

Tree of Life Web Project Species 2000 - Welcome to Species 2000 website Natural Fibers: - Uttarakhand Bamboo & Fiber Development Board Fibers of both plant and animal origins have been utilized since the beginning of human civilization. They have been used to provide shelter and clothing to shield us against the extremities of nature and paper to record history. A host of household utility items like baskets, sacks, ropes, and rugs have also been made through them as is still done in rural areas of the developing world. In contemporary times, natural fibers form an important component of the clothing and home textiles and are increasingly being used in industrial applications which range from paper and packaging to composite materials used in automobile parts. The widespread use of synthetic fibers increased since the 1960s, caused a corresponding decline in the market share of natural fibers. However the shortcomings of highly consumerist and inorganic lifestyles of the industrialized nations have loomed large with the manifestation of phenomenon like ozone layer depletion and global-warming.

CoL DB Using The Catalogue of Life is a joint product of Species 2000 and ITIS. There are currently two editions, the Annual and Dynamic Checklists. The differences between these editions are outlined on the 'About the Catalogue of Life ' page. There are many ways to access the Catalogue of Life depending on your requirements but please note that not all methods can be used to access both the Annual and Dynamic Checklists: Standard users Web interfaces - The primary search interface to the Catalogue of Life is available on the Catalogue of Life website. Advanced users When using the Catalogue of Life in your own system it is important to abide by the terms and conditions of use and notify the Species 2000 Secretariat. Web services - There are two web services available to automatically query the two editions of the Catalogue of Life and then use the data within your own system.
