Interesting project idea, a Wikipedia for phylogeny, and perhaps I
shouldn't knock it.<br>
<br>
But does anyone feel like correcting this polytomy in
opentreeoflife.org? <br>
<b><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://tree.opentreeoflife.org/opentree/opentree3.0@1766047/Heliconiini">https://tree.opentreeoflife.org/opentree/opentree3.0@1766047/Heliconiini</a></b><br>
<br>
I counted 815 "species" in the genus <i>Heliconius </i>on this
site, including <i>Heliconius wucherpfennigi</i> which is a named
aberration of a form of a subspecies of "<i>Heliconius clytia</i>"
which is thought today to be a synonym of <i>Heliconius wallacei</i>!
<br>
<br>
No wonder they claim to have 2.3 million species! I wonder how many
other groups have spurious species like this!<br>
<br>
Best wishes, Jim<br>
