Phylogenetic Trees and Branch Lengths for Coleoptera Evolution Analyses

47.1 KB of inferred species phylogenies and branch length datasets for evolutionary distance estimation. The files, authored by Dwayne Tally and last updated in May 2026, are provided in TRE, TREE, and TXT formats under a CC0-1.0 license. They are intended for downstream comparative analyses of chromosome evolution across the insect order Coleoptera.

Use Cases

• Estimate evolutionary distances between Coleoptera species based on provided branch lengths.
• Perform comparative analyses of chromosome evolution using the inferred species phylogenies.
• Assess phylogenetic concordance using the concordance-based tree data.
• Integrate these phylogenetic trees as a backbone for downstream trait evolution studies.

Strengths

• Data is provided under a permissive CC0-1.0 public domain license.
• Files include multiple phylogenetic tree types (inferred species phylogenies and concordance-based trees).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
