Higher-Level Taxonomy & Evolution Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-09-11 · 5 entries checked · 2 flagged · 3 issues confirmed · 2 corrected · 1 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Chlamydiota — The entry states the phylum was renamed Chlamydiota in 2022, but the valid publication date is 2015.

Chlamydiota — The entry states chlamydial isolates were obtained from a human pneumonitis outbreak in the late 1920s and early 1930s, but the first isolation was from a psittacosis outbreak in 1929–1930.

Chloroflexota — The entry states that Thermomicrobia was treated as a separate phylum in the 2001 edition of Bergey's Manual, but it was actually included within the phylum Chloroflexi as the class Thermomicrobia.
