Can I just send you the tree from my most recent phylogenetic analysis, and you put it up on the ToL site?

When we construct a ToL branch for a given group, we want to have all the taxa in that group included in the tree or taxon list, i.e., not just the ones that were included in a particular phylogenetic analysis, and not just the ones that occur in a particular faunal region. One reason for this requirement is to emphasize that the phylogenies presented on the ToL should not just be the result of a single analysis, but should synthesize all available information. If the structure of a ToL branch is based on studies that used only exemplar taxa, then the rest of the known taxa should be added to the ToL trees or taxon lists. If the phylogenetic position of a taxon within a group is entirely unknown, it can be placed incertae sedis below the tree. See Tree/Taxon List Formatting for more information.
