Extractions: In 1993 a small band of volunteer graduate students initiated the University of California Museum of Paleontology (UCMP) Web site , one of the first 50 sites on the Internet. The Internet offered UCMP the opportunity to extend its outreach efforts to new audiences, beyond the practical limits of a very small staff and limited physical space. Today, the site encompasses thousands of pages of information on life through time, organized in three major "exhibit halls": geologic time, phylogeny, and evolution. The exhibits are heavily interlinked, offering browsers of all levels opportunities to pursue concepts of particular interest. Background sources, authors and dates of publication are documented throughout the site. Good examples of pages in the major exhibit halls include: Introduction to the Anthozoa : This exhibit describes the group of organisms containing the corals that build great reefs in tropical waters, as well as sea anemones, sea fans, and sea pens. As with all exhibits in the phylogeny area, major concepts discussed include fossil record, life history and ecology, systematics, and morphology.

Extractions: Ecological Monographs Appendix A Abstract This Appendix provides additional information for the study of Pleistocene coral communities from Curaçao. It is composed of a Methods section explaining one additional analysis: cluster analysis. It goes into some detail about the nature of the paleontological database from which the results of the published study are derived ("How good are the data?"). The Appendix goes into further detail about the basis for the coral taxonomy used in the study, including a list of species, figured examples of the different fossil forms of the Montastraea "annularis" species complex, and a table of species diversity for each sample. Further data are also given on species distribution patterns: two tables showing a list of species that occurred in only 1 or 2 (of 3) of the Pleistocene reef environments or 1 (of 2) of the sites per environment. Lastly a section on results from the cluster analyses, corroborates, in all cases, the results of the global non-metric multidimensional scaling ordinations presented in the original paper.
