21. T.R.B.D. directed the project that produced the discovery and obtained the specimen. T.R.B.D., N.E.M., S.J.M., and D.W.D. located, observed, and collected all behavioral and ecological data; T.R.B.D., W.T.S., E.J.S., and L.E.O. wrote the paper with editorial input from D.W.D., N.E.M., and S.J.M. W.T.S. and E.J.S. conducted the morphological analysis; L.E.O. conducted all molecular analyses. M. Snapp, R. Banasiak, and M. Schulenberg provided assistance with analysis, specimen preparation, and figures. T. Roberts and M. Alfaro advised us on phylogenetic methodology. K. Hildebrandt assisted with lab work, which was funded by the University of Alaska Museum. DNA sequencing was conducted in the University of Alaska Fairbanks Institute of Arctic Biology (UAF-IAB) Core Facility for Nucleic Acid Analysis with support from NSF Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research grant EPS-0346770. Analyses were conducted on the UAF-IAB Bioinformatics Cluster supported by NIH grant RR-16466-01, NSF grant EPS-0092040, the Alaska IDeA Networks for Biomedical Research Excellence program, and the University of Alaska Foundation. R. Phillips, M. Fungo, W. Mwalwengele, O. Mwaipungu, M. Haruna, A. Mwamtobe, S. Kimiti, and G. Picton Phillipps provided logistical, field, and Geographic Information Systems support. J. Fooden, A. Gardner, and T. Jones offered valuable advice. Fieldwork was funded by the Wildlife Conservation Society. We are grateful to Tanzania National Parks, Tanzania Wildlife Research Institute, and the Rungwe District Council, and we thank the anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments on earlier versions of this manuscript.
