The paper introduces an R package, clootl, that provides a complete, versioned avian phylogeny and tools for extracting and manipulating phylogenetic trees.

This paper develops efficient date interpolation algorithms to fully date a large phylogenetic tree, enabling robust estimates of phylogenetic diversity across 2.3 million species.

The paper estimates Phylogenetic Diversity (PD) across the complete tree of life using 2.2 million species and calculates Evolutionary Distinctiveness and EDGE scores for over 130,000 species.

This paper unites phylogenetic estimates from 262 studies to create a complete, time-scaled bird evolutionary tree, enabling large-scale analyses linking phylogeny with geographic data.

The paper introduces a Python package for accessing and analyzing data from the Open Tree of Life project, demonstrating its use in generating phylogenetic relationships for bird families and taxa at a specific reserve.

Physcraper updates published phylogenies by adding public DNA sequences and enables comparison of updated phylogenies with their original versions.
