Almost 300 biologists have banded together and redrawn the tree of life for flowering plants, enabling a 15-fold increase in the number of genuses represented and highlighting new milestones in diversification.

There are more than 100 species of Nepenthes, which is one of the many genuses of carnivorous plants found around the world.

This uncanny deadliness has a mystery at its core: These mushrooms are from three separate genuses, or groups of fungal species, that are not closely related.

"And there's also evidence that these sharks ate other genuses of xenacanth shark. But this is the first bit of evidence we have that they were eating their own young as well."
