TreeBASE is back: Phylogenetic database completely rebuilt

Now, a team of biologists and computer scientists is releasing a new version that is completely rebuilt. With this upgrade, the database is poised to become an increasingly valuable resource for conservation biology, biogeography, and education, developers say. [ more ]
