The OneZoom Tree of Life Explorer is a web-based phylogenetic tree software. It aims to map the evolutionary connection of all known life. As of 2023 it includes over 2.2 million species.[1][2]
Organisation
[edit]OneZoom was originally invented by James Rosindell[3] and is a charity registered in London.[4] It is sponsored by individuals such as Richard Dawkins.[3][5]
Tree of Life Explorer
[edit]The design is based on the pythagoras tree; beside a default spiral design there are other options, such as polytomy.[6][7]
Leaves and nodes provide links to other websites, such as Wikipedia, Encyclopedia of Life or the NCBI taxonomy browser. The leaves representing single species are colour-coded according to their IUCN extinction risk, with red indicating a threatened species, black representing a recently extinct species, and grey representing species with unknown extinction risk.[1]
