    extant
    hasChildren
    parentId
    leaves
  }

  query getTree($id: ID!) {
    tree(id: $id, depth: 3) {
      ...clade
      children {
        ...clade
        children {
          ...clade
        }
      }
    }
  }

  ?article  schema:about ?item ;
      schema:isPartOf <https://species.wikimedia.org/> .
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en" }
