Beginning at the point when birds originated, the animation shows new bird orders budding off of the initial bird lineage and spreading across the evolutionary map as they diverge genetically.

We are currently pursuing a prophage-based subtyping procedure as an adjunct to a newly developed single nucleotide polymporphism-based (SNP-PCR) method (manuscript under preparation) which together should lead to a comprehensive description of the evolutionary map for SE in Canada.

In this project, after the desired affordances of the dynamic evolutionary map were identified, the visual style and navigational elements of the map were designed to create a semi-structured interactive experience.

Finally, the features of the dynamic evolutionary map were analyzed using the same framework, in order to predict how effective this new visualization might be as a tool for communicating macroevolution.

The interactive elements of the dynamic evolutionary map also facilitate the communication of important evolutionary affordances.

The analysis of the dynamic evolutionary map's affordances and constraints suggests that a map-based visualization may be better at communicating some affordances for evolutionary understanding than many tree diagrams.
