pez: Phylogenetics for the Environmental Sciences

#' Phylogenetics for the Environmental Sciences
#'
#' Analysis and manipulation of eco-phylogenetic datasets containing
#' species phylogeny, species traits, community composition, and
#' environmental data. Provide the \code{\link{comparative.comm}}
#' object to ease data manipulation, and wrappers for common community
#' phylogenetic indices grouped according to Pearse et al. 2014:
#' \code{\link{pez.shape}}, \code{\link{pez.evenness}},
#' \code{\link{pez.dispersion}}, and
#' \code{\link{pez.dissimilarity}}. Implementation of Cavender-Bares
#' et al. (2004) correlation of phylogenetic and ecological matrices
#' (\code{\link{fingerprint.regression}}). Simulation of null
#' assemblages, traits, and phylogenies (\code{\link{scape}},
#' \code{\link{sim.meta.comm}}).
