The Encyclopedia of Life is officially up and running! An ambitious project to catalog each of the 1.8 million discovered species on Earth with their own web page, the first species profiles are available for viewing. Profiles include species’ descriptions, information about the species’ life histories, ecology, taxonomy, and literature references. Images of species are also included on profiles.

25 complete entries are available, as well as about 30,000 partial entries. Visit The Encyclopedia of Life today!
