Phylogenetic tree of marine fish hosts of Caligus and Lepeophtheirus

A phylogenetic tree (class phylo) of 625 marine fish species that are recorded hosts of sea lice of the genera Caligus and Lepeophtheirus in the cofid copepod-fish interaction database. The tree is pruned from the Fish Tree of Life actinopterygian phylogeny (Rabosky and colleagues 2018, actinopt_12k_raxml). Tip labels are binomial species names with spaces.
