Phylogeny wonkiness #542

Closed open-tree-tree-explorer[bot] closed 3 months ago

open-tree-tree-explorer[bot] commented 2 years ago

This phylogeny is wrong and includes invalid names (eg N. fossor, N. gandior, and N. mysticallis). The Sikes & Venables 2013 phylogeny is open source & shared in treebase so it is confusing that it's not been pulled into this project.
