The American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB) has created a highly interactive site featuring still images, videos, and animations derived from the recent literature, as well as classic microscopy from earlier studies.

The Encyclopedia of Life (EOL) is an unprecedented partnership between the scientific community and the general public. Expert curators ensure quality of the core collection by authenticating materials submitted by diverse projects and individual contributors.

This collection of classroom lessons effectively teaches basic concepts in the areas of evolution and the nature of science. The lessons were developed and tested by biology teachers.

The online edition of this classic text features 1,247 illustrations and more than 13,000 entries in the index.

Here you will find authoritative taxonomic information on plants, animals, fungi, and microbes of North America and the world.

Lichen biology, practical uses, diagrams and photos. The material is presented at two levels: "for novitiates" and "for professionals".

The MIT Biology Department core courses, 7.012, 7.013, and 7.014, all cover the same core material, which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Online you will find video lectures, study materials, problem sets, and quiz materials.

Scitable is a free science library and personal learning tool brought to you by Nature Publishing Group, the world's leading publisher of science. Scitable currently concentrates on genetics and cell biology, which include the topics of evolution, gene expression, and the rich complexity of cellular processes shared by living organisms. Scitable also offers resources for the budding scientist, with advice about effective science communication and career paths

Laboratory modules using sea urchin eggs and a web site developed by teachers and Stanford University researchers provide more than 150 web pages to support the teaching of fertilization and development. Designed for high school students, these materials are also appropriate for introductory college classes.

The Tree of Life is a project to link biological information available on the Internet in the form of a phylogenetic navigator.

The target audience of Understanding Evolution is everyone interested in learning about evolution. The site has numerous new feature articles, highlighting many aspects of evolution science, presented as interactive investigations, research profiles, evolution news (updated monthly), and even a comic strip. All of the site's information is accessible via a browsable topic directory.
