ManageEngine Applications Manager vs phyloatlas

This is a curated deposit of species-level phylogenies — 264 trees across 62 partitions, 247 of them time-calibrated — paired with a species-name dictionary of roughly 638,000 standardized labels and per-tree provenance. It is moving through peer review at Methods in Ecology and Evolution, and the release stream is essentially a public erratum log: eight releases in five weeks, each reconciling the deposit against source papers, the manuscript, and its own metadata. The most recent replaced the turtle canonical with a 274-tip ultrametric chronogram after the previous tree failed time-calibration integrity checks.

The project's defining decision is that it archives the recipe rather than the corpus. Since 1.0.3 the Zenodo deposit holds metadata, provenance, and standardization code while the tree files live at their original sources, and the same principle was applied again when the TimeTree-of-Life was removed at the TimeTree project's request and reduced to a citation. What makes the correction log unusual is its direction: partitions keep getting reclassified from dated to undated as verification confirms the source papers described chronograms they never deposited. The atlas is being built to be honest about archival uncertainty rather than to maximize coverage.

The release cadence is driven by the manuscript review cycle, so expect corrections to continue until MEE acceptance and then slow sharply; the open thread most likely to produce the next one is the remaining recoverable archival uncertainty flagged across non-Condamine dated source trees.
