Fern Tree of Life (FTOL) dated consensus phylogeny

Majority-rule extended consensus phylogenetic tree of ferns inferred from seven loci by maximum-likelihood and dated using 60 fossil ferns as constraints, including maximal sampling of available species on GenBank.

Usage

ftol_con_dated_tree

Format

List of class "phylo"

Details

A backbone phylogeny based on full plastome sequences including 503 tips was first inferred and used as a constraint tree for the consensus tree.

Includes 5,610 tips and 5,609 internal nodes. Branch lengths are in units of time (Ma). Node labels are bootstrap support (BS) values (%).

For details on methods used to infer the tree, see Nitta et al. 2022.
