starTree(): this function creates a star phylogeny with or without branch lengths from a list of terminal species.
Input
phy<-starTree(species,branch.lengths=NULL)
"species" is a vector with the tip labels for the tree;
"branch.lengths" is an optional vector of edge lengths in the same order at "species."
