  1. Competing Interests. The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.Author Contributions. R.P.K. collected and analysed the molecular data, collected a number of the samples from the field, and wrote the paper. I.N.S. conceived of and wrote the algorithm and the version implemented here. D.J.E. collected the majority of the specimens, preliminarily identified them, and helped to place the data set in a larger biological and intellectual context. R.D. conceived of using the data set for the purpose of testing the method presented herein and sponsored the work, which was carried out in his laboratory.
