Taxonomy is a rather controversial science. Moreover, not all everything
is available in net. There are three good ways of finding taxonomical
information.
1. Tree of Life
===============
http://phylogeny.arizona.edu/
A very good idea but needs a lot more work to cover more taxons.
2. NCBI Taxonomy Browser
========================
http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Taxonomy/taxonomyhome.html
The fastest way of finding the complete, hierarcial taxonomy. This
taxonomy is from molecular biologists point of view. Classical
taxonomists no doubt disagree in many cases.
SRS (Sequence Retireval System)
===============================
http://cypress.csc.fi:8001/srs/srsc
SRS is the most powerful tool for browsing sequence databases. There are
more than 15 servers world wide. SRS is developed st EMBL
(http://www.embl-heidelberg.de:80/srs/srsc). If you check my server (or
any other European servers), you will notice that the wording of the
taxon hierarchy differs slightly in the European sequence database EMBL
from that in US (GenBank).
All the best,
