The OneZoom Tree of Life Explorer is an interactive map showing the evolutionary connections between all known living things.

Each leaf on the OneZoom tree represents a species and the branches show how they are connected through evolution.

The OneZoom software allows you to explore the tree of life in a completely new way that is similar to viewing a geographical map. This is done using techniques from fractal geometry, which enables the entire tree of life to be condensed into a single page.

OneZoom is so named because all the information is on one page. All you have to do is zoom to reveal further details.

OneZoom is a UK registered non-profit organization and is freely available everywhere, with no advertising. The Tree of Life Explorer was designed to be easily accessible to everyone, particularly as a teaching tool in schools, software for scientists, and interactive exhibits for museums.

The Tree of All Known Life Published Online

The Tree of All Known Life Published Online A traveler is published to explore all life on earth, the evolutionary history of life and the risk of extinction for living things. The OneZoom rover has mapped the link between 2.2 million species, the closest to a single view of all species determined by science. The interactive tree of life allows users to zoom in on any genre and explore their…

Fractal Used To Visualize An Interactive Tree Of Life

When Benoit Mandelbrot conceived of fractals, he probably was not thinking of the myriad of practical applications they would eventually come to assist. For instance, now a team from the Imperial College in London has created an interactive website that will eventually, it is hoped, represent all of life on earth as a tree of life.  With OneZoom, exploring the evolutionary tree of life is now as easy as navigating an online map, thanks to a new interactive website. The developers at OneZoom are committed to heightening awareness about the diversity of life on earth, its evolutionary history and the threats of extinction. The website allows you to explore the tree of life in a completely new way: it's like a map, everything is on one page, all you have to do is zoom in and out. OneZoom also provides free, open source, data visualisation tools for science and education, currently focusing on the tree of life.
