DESCRIPTION:    The moduli space \\overline{M}_{0\,n} of stable genus zero
  curves with n marked points can be constructed as the closure of M_{0\,n}
  inside a toric variety. The fan of the toric variety is moduli space of p
 hylogenetic trees. I will discuss joint work with Dustin Cartwright to con
 struct other compactifications of M_{0\,n} by varying the toric variety us
 ing variants of phylogenetic trees. These compactifications include many o
 f the standard alternative compactifications of M_{0\,n}. \n
