Welcome to the LD Search Page!

Want to see if I've found your favorite plant, animal, or other weird biotic thing? Don't want to go through a whole phylogenetic chain just to check out a particular category? Don't really know what the hell a phylogenetic chain is supposed to mean? No worries! Simply type in either a general or specific taxonomic ranking (ie. Kingdom or Mammalia), a scientific name (ie. Procyon lotor), or a common name (Raccoon), and the search engine will provide you a one-click pathway directly to your selection, if it exists! (NOTE: Searches with enough results may stretch the background; all I can do is apologize. I'm a dork, not a programmer.)
[Hint: If you can't find what you're looking for, try using the plural term and/or different common names for your target.]
