One of the EOL lead devs is now a member of our group https://speciesfilegroup.org/. We have two open-source projects that seek to contribute in this field, TaxonWorks, https://taxonworks.org, a web-workbench that lets you gather the data behind these types of pages and TaxonPages, an effort to make it possible, ultimately, for anyone to produce Species/Taxon pages - https://github.com/SpeciesFileGroup/taxonpages/. We expect to have 50k+ TaxonPages (akin to species pages) available this year as we transition some legacy data forward.
well, if you have a full-sized keyboard, you will see the (goto) end (of line) key peering up at you all the time. but i must admit, i hardly ever use it.
If you like Subtree of Life, you're going to love 'Onezoom' (https://www.onezoom.org/) which is a very attractive 'Google Maps of life' sort of site, and TimeTree (http://www.timetree.org/) which is similar but the visualisation is much more traditional (not fractals) in comparison with the first.
... and publishes references to the literature backing a relationship.
This is important since the tree you get can vary even depending on the gene you study, which can raise some questions about how to interpret these trees.
The info on that site is... not even close to correct. Choanozoa as the sister group of all other life including bacteria and archaea? All eukaryotes broken into Opisthokonta, Chloroplastida, and Amoebozoa? Maybe the stuff on metazoans is more accurate, but in the big picture of the genetic diversity of life on earth they're barely a footnote.
wikidata [1] [2] has "few" species with links to many other databases like
* plazi.org list taxonomic treatment (~ species description) found in journals, papers using OCR when needed.
* gbif.org list specimens (and other things) using normalized datasets provided by various institutions (including Plazi).
one process among many others : some algorithms run by GBIF find potential matches between species and specimens, with some human curation, we can link between a specimen and the related papers.
And some shameless plugs-
