Use the syntax Genus_species,Genus_species: comma-delimited, no spaces, underscores in names, i.e.,
Rhinoceros_unicornis,Equus_caballus,Mus_musculus
for a list of species in the taxa box, OR a Newick tree string, ending with a semicolon:
((Rhinoceros_unicornis,Equus_caballus),Mus_musculus);
The tree can have branch lengths. Note that stretching a tree is much slower than just getting ages for a list of taxa. It uses a method in review by Eastman et al.

Input:

Return format: HTML Newick median Best guess Best guess,Min guess,Max guess Image file of median tree (PNG format)
Note that to return a tree you'll need to provide at least three taxon names. The "best guesses" are just the medians of the results by study.

Partial match: Return info from trees that have some taxon overlap with your query Return info only from trees with complete taxon overlap with your query

Use embargoed data: Yes, use all data in the database (even info from as yet unpublished trees by DateLife contributors) No, use public, peer-reviewed results, only

How to deal with single point estimates (which have no uncertainty): Assume +/- 100% of the age Assume +/- 75% of the age Assume +/- 50% of the age Assume +/- 20% of the age Assume +/- 10% of the age Assume +/- 5% of the age Assume +/- 1% of the age Assume +/- 0% of the age

Taxonomic name resolution (converting input names to a standard taxonomy; will slow down analysis but increase chance of matching): No
TNRS source: NCBI (good for wide range of species) iPlant (good for plants, can fix typos) Mammal Species of the World, Vol. 3
Name resolution uses the Taxosaurus service.
