The Tree of Life Web Project is an ongoing Internet project and providing information about the diversity and phylogeny of life on Earth. This collaborative peer reviewed project began in 1995, and is written by biologists from around the world.
The pages are linked hierarchically, in the form of the branching evolutionary tree of life, organized cladistically. Each page contains information about one particular group of organisms and is organized according to a branched tree-like form, thus showing hypothetical relationships between different groups of organisms.
Entries have a description of the group, but explanatory material regarding its phylogeny, and detailed references about that particular taxon.
Many pages however are quite stubby, and site might sometimes be dated; according to an EvoWiki contributer, the tree of Eutheria fails to reflect the recent classification into Laurasiatheria, Afrotheria, Euarchontoglires, and Xenarthra.
