Compendium of Biota - The Tree of Life

The Compendium of biota of the Bay of Bengal is classified with the taxonomic system of Cavalier-Smith (1998, 2004). Each table page of the Compendium represents a taxon node in the tree of life. A page includes the single path of nodes to the root of the classification, and a table of child nodes. All taxon nodes are links to their respective pages. Click on lower ranking taxa to extend the table towards the bottom of the tree. The tree bottom contains additional information particular to species, such as authority, references and contributors.

Table colums can be sorted alphabetically up or down by clicking on column headers.
