ToL People

Tree of Life Branch Coordinators

Here is a list of people who have agreed to coordinate branches in the Tree of Life. For some contributors we give a general indication of the groups they will be working on, although this might not be precise. Any one person is only listed once here, so their listings might not show all of their anticipated contributions. We are in the process of replacing this manually maintained list with one that's automatically created from our registration database. For up-to-date information on the ToL scientific core contributors for a given group of organisms, go to the relevant branch page, and follow the link under the people menu in the right sidebar. The ToL People for Life on Earth page lists all registered scientific core contributors.

If you are not listed, but are a contributor to the project, then please register.

There are 543 contributors listed here for the Tree of Life.
