Abstract: Multimedia representations of phylogenies can only broaden the audience experiencing results of the field. I developed a bioinformatics pipeline for representation of phylogenies as audio and video, optimized to enable conversion of an extremely wide range of phylogeny structures (from tens to tens of thousands of terminals). I also compiled and standardized a set of contemporary phylogenetics results comprising only ones that were provisioned in analyzable form supplementary to a publication and that had been assigned a Creative Commons license by the authors. Fifty-six such phylogenies each were audified and the resultant media files made easily accessible. This work provisionally addresses a problematic gap in public information on phylogenetics for non-visual modalities, and exemplifies how evolutionary biologists might better respond to obligations in widening participation.

Key words: audification, phylogeny, sight-impaired, sonification, tree of life
