The Protist Image Data (PID) Website provides up-to-date images and online information on the morphology, taxonomy, and phylogenetic relationships of "selected protist genera, especially those genera whose species are frequently used as experimental organisms or are important in studies of organismal evolution." Spearheaded by researchers Charles O'Kelly and Tim Littlejohn and maintained at the University of Montreal's Molecular Evolution & Organelle Genomics program, the site contains a brief overview of the PID initiative and features dozens of annotated images and descriptive summaries of protists. Also provided at the site are links to recommended online databases and further resources on protistology.
