Competing Interests

The authors have read the journal’s policy and have the following conflicts: John A Raven has share options in Scottish Bioenergy; David M Kramer was a co-founder of Phenometrics but he is no longer involved with this company. This does not alter their adherence to all the PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
