International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology: The official journal of record for novel prokaryotic taxa. It publishes papers dealing with all phases of the systematics of prokaryotes, yeasts and yeast-like organisms, including taxonomy, nomenclature, identification, phylogeny, evolution, biodiversity, characterization and culture preservation. Its scope covers phylogenetic and evolutionary aspects of all micro-organisms, including the protists such as protozoa and algae, and it also publishes molecular environmental papers with a strong systematics content. Published monthly.

Species 2000: A "federation" of database organisations working closely with users, taxonomists and sponsoring agencies.The goal of the Species 2000 project is to create a validated checklist of all the world's species (plants, animals, fungi and microbes). This is being achieved by bringing together an array of global species databases covering each of the major groups of organisms. Each database covers all known species in the group, using a consistent taxonomic system.

Tree of Life: A distributed Internet project containing information about phylogeny and biodiversity. The project is designed to contain information about the phylogenetic relationships and characteristics of organisms, to illustrate the diversity and unity of living organisms, and to link biological information available on the Internet in the form of a phylogenetic navigator. The project aims to provide a map to biological information to be used by researchers, teachers and students.
