geom_tiplab2 isn't able to recover the correct phylopic image URLs. This is likely closely related to ggimage not having been updated for the new phylopic API released a while ago.

However, documenting here to confirm that this is the case, and to ask whether any short-term fixes might be implemented. Especially considering the next Bioc release is fast approaching on April 8th, after which time any Bioc packages that rely on this functionality will become deprecated by default. @GuangchuangYu
