About

A web space to store published phylogenies of diatoms and other algae. The repository holds two general types of files:

Each tree is represented by the following:

  1. the phylogenetic tree displayed in the wonderful OneZoom Tree of Life Explorer format

  2. doi or link of the publication where this tree comes from (if available)

  3. TreeBase or Dryad study ID of the publication where nexus files of the tree and data can be found (if available)

  4. If 2 and/or 3 are missing, a full reference where the tree comes from is provided.


Trees

Tree of the Cymbellales from Nakov et al. 2014 Phycologia

Cymbellales - partitioned by-gene-by-codon

Cymbellales - partitioned by-rate

Cymbellales - with PhyloBayes’ CAT model

TreeBase: 15699

Note: Node ages are arbitrary as the published trees are not proportional to time. The phylograms reported in the paper were smoothed to relative time chronograms with root age 50 million years.


Relative-time ultrametric tree of diatoms and Bolidomonas from Nakov et al. 2014 ISME-J

Diatoms + Bolidomonas

Data and trees: http://teofil.discindo.org/data-and-downloads/

Note: The tree is displayed with an arbitrary root age of 100 million years (as in the original publication).


Chronogram of the Thalassiosirales from Alverson 2014, Paleobiology

Thalassiosirales

Dryad: doi 10.5061/dryad.85q50


Chronogram of Pinnularia and outgroup taxa from Souffreau et al. 2011, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution

Pinnularia

TreeBase: 11769


Tree of diatoms and Bolidomonas as outgroup from Theriot et al. 2010, Plant Ecology and Evolution

Diatoms and Bolidomonas

TreeBase: S10953

Note: Node ages on this tree are arbitrary as the published tree is not proportional to time. The phylogram reported in the paper was smoothed to a relative time chronogram with root age 500 million years.


Tree of diatoms and Bolidomonas as outgroup from Ashworth et al. 2013, Journal of Phycology

Diatoms and Bolidomonas

Note: Node ages on this tree are arbitrary as the published tree is not proportional to time. The phylogram reported in the paper was smoothed to a relative time chronogram with root age 500 million years.


Tree of raphid diatoms from Ruck and Theriot 2011, Protist

Raphid diatoms

TreeBase: S11192

Note: Node ages on this tree are arbitrary as the published tree is not proportional to time. The phylogram reported in the paper was smoothed to a relative time chronogram with root age 100 million years.


Tree of heterokonts and outgroups from Goertzen and Theriot 2003, Journal of Phycology

Heterokonts and outgroups - SSU tree

Heterokonts and outgroups - rbcL tree

Heterokonts and outgroups - SSU + rbcL tree

TreeBase: S909

Note: Branch lengths and node ages on these trees are meaningless. The TreeBase entry for these trees does not include branch lengths. To make the tree compatible with OneZoom, branch lengths added by sampling from an exponential distribution with rate=10. This artificial “phylogram” was then smoothed to a relative time chronogram with root age 500 million years.


Trees of Amphora among other raphid taxa from Sato et al. 2013, Phycologia

Amphora and relatives - Maximum likelihood tree

Amphora and relatives - Bayesian inference tree

TreeBase: S13483

Note: The trees were scaled to 100 million years root age. The node ages are arbitrary.


Tree of diatoms and Bolidomonas from Sato et al. 2008, Phycologia

Diatoms and Bolidomonas - focus on Psammoneis

TreeBase: S2106

Note: Branch lengths and node ages on this tree are meaningless. The TreeBase entry did not include branch lengths. To make the tree compatible with OneZoom, branch lengths added by sampling from an exponential distribution with rate=10. This artificial “phylogram” was then smoothed to a relative time chronogram with root age 500 million years.


Tree of diatoms and Bolidomonas from Sato et al. 2008, Phycologia

Diatoms and Bolidomonas - focus on Pseudostriatella

TreeBase: S2107

Note: Branch lengths and node ages on this tree are meaningless. The TreeBase entry did not include branch lengths. To make the tree compatible with OneZoom, branch lengths added by sampling from an exponential distribution with rate=10. This artificial “phylogram” was then smoothed to a relative time chronogram with root age 500 million years.


Tree of Skeletonema and outgroups from Sarno et al. 2007, Protist

Skeletonema and ougroups

TreeBase: S1922

Note: Branch lengths and node ages on this tree are meaningless. The TreeBase entry did not include branch lengths. To make the tree compatible with OneZoom, branch lengths added by sampling from an exponential distribution with rate=10. This artificial “phylogram” was then smoothed to a relative time chronogram with root age 20 million years.


Tree of Thalassiosirales from Alverson 2007, Limnology & Oceanoraphy

Thalassiosirales - tree from silicon transported genes (SIT)

TreeBase: S2047

Note: Branch lengths and node ages on this tree are meaningless. The TreeBase entry did not include branch lengths. To make the tree compatible with OneZoom, branch lengths added by sampling from an exponential distribution with rate=10. This artificial “phylogram” was then smoothed to a relative time chronogram with root age 100 million years.
