Description
Some tree comments from my wildlife-biologist girlfriend:
1. Is there any way of capturing cases where phylogenies are being debated? Perhaps not, given that the tool is drawing from one database.
2. Is there some way to indicate the degree/extent of divergence on the branches to better understand how long ago two species diverged? I have no idea whether this is at all realistic.
3. I also had trouble finding a species by common name (Lazuli Bunting) which I found by its scientific name (Passerina amoena), which then populated my tree with Lazuli Bunting. So, I’m not sure what is up with that glitch. I tried it several times to make sure I was spelling correctly!
4. I like the zoom-in/zoom-out features.
I showed it to some lab mates and they thought it was cool and that they would use it to think about the species they work on.
