get_all_descendant_species

This is less thorough than get_open_tree_species(), but much faster. It uses the fact
that something has just two names (genus and species) to assume that something is a
single species; if it has more than two names, it is assumed to be a subspecies so
it goes up one level in the hierarchy. It will return the subspecies and the species.

Methods and workflows to get chronograms (i.e., phylogenetic trees with branch lengths
proportional to time), using open, peer-reviewed, state-of-the-art scientific data on time of lineage divergence.
This package constitutes the main underlying code of the DateLife web service
at <https://www.datelife.org>. To obtain a single summary chronogram from a group of
relevant chronograms, we implement the Super Distance Matrix (SDM) method
described in Criscuolo et al. (2006) <doi:10.1080/10635150600969872>.
To find the grove of chronograms with a sufficiently overlapping set of taxa
for summarizing, we implement theorem 1.1. from Ané et al. (2009)
<doi:10.1007/s00026-009-0017-x>.
A given phylogenetic tree can be dated using time of lineage divergence data
as secondary calibrations (with caution, see Schenk (2016) <doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0148228>).
To obtain and apply secondary calibrations, the package implements the congruification method described
in Eastman et al. (2013) <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12051>. Tree dating can be performed with different methods
including BLADJ (Webb et al. (2008) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btn358>), PATHd8
(Britton et al. (2007) <doi:10.1080/10635150701613783>), mrBayes (Huelsenbeck
and Ronquist (2001) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/17.8.754>), and treePL (Smith
and O'Meara (2012) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts492>).
