Explore the challenges and standards in developing geophylogenies, incorporating spatial networks, biogeographic models, and geographic reconstructions, to understand evolutionary relationships. This text discusses historical biogeography, ecological niche models, and phylogenetic analysis methods for studying the Tree of Life. Learn about geophylogeny spatial networks, taxonomic standards, and areas of endemism, merging form, space, time, and place in evolutionary research.

Encyclopedia of Life Tree of Life Map of Life Form, Time and Space “The affinities of all the beings of the same class have sometimes been represented by a great tree...the…Tree of Life, which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth, and covers the surface with its ever branching and beautiful ramifications.” Charles Darwin 1859. On the origin of species. Ch. 5 Laws of Variation. “The affinities of all the beings of the same class have sometimes been represented by a great tree...the…Tree of Life, which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth, and covers the surface with its ever branching and beautiful ramifications.” Charles Darwin 1859.
