This project started with part of my Doctoral thesis at the University of Zurich, and continued and concluded while I was working at the University of Vienna thanks to funding from the…

How to represent uncertainty in phylogenies: RoguePlots to the rescue!

Phylogenetic trees based on morphology are often represented as a single (strict or majority) consensus tree, sometimes with branches labelled with branch support (bootstrap/jackknife percentages or ‘Decay index’). However, in many cases this form…
