Evolutionary tree would be a lot more useful to me if there was an ability to automatically filter out all the dead branches and see only the currently alive ones.
Is there a way to do this or is it currently not possible?
There are a couple different answers to this, none of which are exactly what you want but I'll explain them for completeness's sake.
Truly "dead end" species that never produce any subspecies and fall under a moving population threshold are automatically pruned from the tree
There is a "purge tree" button to delete all historical data and start the tree over, but that would lose you the ancestry line of the currently extant species.
