        "note": "The Open Tree of Life unifies published phylogenetic trees and taxonomies into one synthetic tree of all life — about 2.3 million named species, each with an Open Tree Taxonomy (OTT) id cross-referenced to NCBI, GBIF and other sources. /v1/match?name=Homo sapiens = resolve a scientific name (or a recognised synonym) to its canonical taxon, returning the OTT id, accepted/unique name, rank, match score, whether it is a synonym/approximate match, and source ids; /v1/taxon?id=770315 = a taxon's classification — name, rank, source ids, synonyms and its full lineage of ancestors (genus, family, order, …) up the tree; /v1/mrca?ids=770315,158484 = the most recent common ancestor of two or more taxa (give OTT ids from /v1/match), returning the MRCA node, the number of descendant tips and the nearest named clade. OTT ids look like 770315 (Homo sapiens); get them from /v1/match. Data from the Open Tree of Life project (CC0). An evolutionary-tree / phylogenetics reference — distinct from species-occurrence (biodiversity/GBIF), marine-taxonomy (WoRMS) and sequence databases. Ideal for biology, evolution, education and bioinformatics tools.",
