The long-term vision of SUPERSMART, including current and planned interactions with other initiatives during different analytical stages. “Global analyses”, when fully implemented, aims at providing continuously updating, dated phylogenies of all species with publicly available molecular sequences, and (in future versions) estimates of diversification and migration rates among and within a set of pre-defined GIS polygons (such as WWF’s realms and biomes). The results may be retrieved by other initiatives and will be deposited in data repositories. “User-defined analyses” are influenced by individual choices, including defined polygons (areas), taxa of interest, and fossil records. The user may also include data that are not yet published or are not public.
