Choosing specific ("best") backbone phylogeny?

[Christine Ewers]

Dear all,

my colleagues and I just published an updated classification for barnacles, which reflects phylogenetic results much better than previous taxonomies. Our new taxonomy is now the valid barnacle taxonomy of WoRMS. I would like to get the barnacle tree of life with only this classification as taxonomic backbone, as it should cause very few taxonomic breaks. Is this possible? How would I go about it? 

Here the updated classification:

Thank you,

Christine

Good morning everyone,

I’m new to this chat and I’m not a phylogenetic biologist, so I apologize in advance if my questions are a bit elementary.

For example, is it correct to say that the specie Anas platyrhynchos was present 68.6 million years ago? Or that the specie Accipiter gentilis existed 49.6 million years ago? The data I’m referring to come from OneZoom.

Thank you and kind regards,
Sandro
