Did a few updates today (refresh your browser to get the latest version): * Added a Drag nodes mode for intuitive manual repositioning * Enabled Shift-based multi-selection * Added Fit view, and a Tree stats panel * Leaf sizes can now be adjusted individually * Added horizontal scale adjustment

I’ve released a tool to sketch and edit phylogenetic trees! yawak.jp/PhyloWeaver/ Load a Newick file and intuitively add/remove/resize branches. Useful for quick conceptual trees, extracting subtrees, or turning ideas into Newick.

PhyloWeaver – Interactive phylogenetic tree editor

Edit and visualize phylogenetic trees directly in your browser. PhyloWeaver lets you interactively rearrange tree topologies and export high-quality figures for publications and presentations.

Nationwide diversity of symbolic “city flowers” in Japan is increasing

In this study, we examined how city governments in Japan assess their local biota and their services. The groundbreaking point of our study was the use of “city flowers,” which are the official symbo....
