Scientists have unveiled a new "tree of life," demonstrating just how the world's 2.3 million species of animals plants, fungi and microbes are connected. The project, involving 11 institutions ...

The bacterial part of the tree of life quickly sprouted new branches, twigs, and leaves. In the 1980s, all known bacteria fit nicely into a dozen major groups, or phyla.

This tree may be depicting as few as 1 in 10,000,000 types of bacteria. In that case, the 'bacteria' slice (currently from 3-4 o'clock on the cirlce) would cover most of circumference.

The tree, the most complete of its kind, ... The largest timed molecular phylogenetic tree of life, called a "timetree," to date includes just over 200 primate species, ...

The first draft of a new "tree of life" contains every named species of flora and fauna known from over 3.5 billion years of life on Earth.

Researchers have unveiled a complete overhaul of the way species data is brought together and analyzed to construct an evolutionary tree of life for mammals. It's aimed at giving scientists ...

Drawing on Darwin's theory of evolution, Haeckel created the first Darwinian phylogenetic 'tree of life' of organisms exactly 150 years ago in Jena, and published it in his major work, the ...

Since Darwin, assembling an evolutionary tree that shows the relationships between all known species of life has been one of the grandest and most daunting challenges facing biologists. Thanks in ...
