treestartr (version 0.1.0)

present_tippr: Add tips to the tree based on taxonomy.

Description

Add tips not on existing tree to the tree via an MRCA node, if they have congeners. This function will look to see if any tips on the tree have the same genus as the tip to be added. If there are multiple members of the genus, the tip will be added subtending the MRCA of all present congeners. If there is member of the genus, the tip will be added subtending the parent node of the congener.
