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]
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]
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.
