Budgeted Nature Reserve Selection with diversity feature loss and arbitrary split systems

<28>An anonymous referee wrote "This presents significant advancements in the understanding of optimization problems that aim to maximize phylogenetic diversity ... an achievement that is made possible thanks to the use of the theory of submodular functions, an idea that is likely to lead to other advancements in this area." Our ideas inform climate change science, e.g. [Faith and Richards, Climate Change Impacts on the Tree of Life: Changes in Phylogenetic Diversity Illustrated for Acropora Corals. Biology (2012) 1(3)], and have led to new theoretical results [Dvorák, Henzinger and Williamson, Maximizing a Submodular Function with Viability Constraints. ESA 2013].
