Couple of organismic blogs

No! Not orgasmic! [There, that should bump up the hits]

You all know, of course, the inestimable Darren Naish and his wonderful blog Tetrapod Zoology. What? You don’t? Go there immediately and come back when you’ve read it all, and the old site too.

[Fifteen days later]

So, I wanted to mention a similar blog, by a student working on spider systematics (way cool), name of Christopher Taylor, called Catalogue of Organisms. In this 300th anniversary of the first real such catelogue by Linnaeus, that’s a way cool title. And of course you have an almost endless supply of cool material, even if you stick at high taxonomic levels. And he’s being controversial too, with a shamelessly populist post on which dinosaurs are coolest or most ferocious (like those “Could Superman get Beat Up by Spiderman?” arguments nerds have, only with real beasties).
