POPSTime Tree - The Timescale Of Life
About: TimeTree is a public knowledge-base for information on the evolutionary timescale of life. A search utility allows exploration of the thousands of divergence times among organisms in the published literature. A tree-based (hierarchical) system is used to identify all published molecular time estimates bearing on the divergence of two chosen taxa, such as species, compute summary statistics, and present the results. Names of two taxa to be compared are entered in the search window and the results are presented on a separate page. Alternatively the last name of an author is entered to find divergence times published by that person. For those interested in published summaries of relationships and divergence times of major groups of organisms (family level and above), see the authoritative synthesis The Timetree of Life. Those most likely to find the search utility in TimeTree useful will be researchers who already have some knowledge of evolutionary biology and wish to mine

POPSNew Crab Species Discovered in Taiwan "The strawberry crab is very small and has little economic value, because it's too small to eat. But some people may want to keep them as pets. I think there would be a problem if people are capturing them without control, or keep looking for them on the shore. That is absolutely harmful to them."
