AP is running a story that the Integrated Taxonomic Information System-Species 2000 Catalog of Life has reached 1,009,000 extant species and expects to reach 1.75 million by 2011. Along with the Tree of Life project, the Catalog of Life offers plenty of information for the budding systematist.
The Creationists will be happy that fossil-only species are excluded but upset that the Catalog is not organized by Kinds and Baramins.
