“We’re taking all knownPhytophthoraspecies and putting them into a living ‘tree of life’ using the Tree-Based Alignment Selector (T-BAS) toolkit that was developed by my colleague Ignazio Carbone,” says Jean Ristaino, William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor of Plant Pathology atNorth C...

In 2021, researchers at the California Academy of Sciences added 70 new plant and animal species to the tree of life, enriching our understanding of Earth’s biodiversity and strengthening our ability to make informed conservation decisions. The new species include...
Ambitious attempt to link geography to diversification ruffles some feathers.doi:10.1038/nature.2012.11712Virginia GewinNature
The flowering plant tree of life has enormous potential for biodiversity research. This is because, just as one can predict the properties of an element based on its position in the periodic table, the location of a species in the tree of life allows researchers to predict its properties. The...
Trees of Life drawn from the bacterial point of view look very different; the whole world of animals and plants occupy only a tiny part of the tree. If the asteroid or comet that triggered the mass extinction 66 million years ago had by chance missed our planet, the space-faring species ...
at First Nature, a species is a life form - plant, animal, fungus etc - having a unique and accepted scientific name and with barriers to successful reproduction with other species from the same genus or with species from other genera, families and higher levels in the hierarchy of life. ...
“Scientists from 11 organizations have digitized a ‘tree of life,’ a genetic map of 2.3 million named species of animals, plants, fungi and microbes that all branched off over time from a common ancestor.” Evolution of living things since the beginning of life more than 3.5 billion years...
The successful colonization of new habitats has played a fundamental role during the evolution of life. Salinity is one of the strongest barriers for organisms to cross, which has resulted in the evolution of distinct marine and non-marine (including bot
