Phylocom is a command-line application for manipulating ecological and phylogenetic data, calculating various metrics of phylogenetic and phenotypic community structure, and measuring trait conservatism and trait correlations.

The manual is in the doc/ directory.

Note that the C version of phylomatic bundled with phylocom is many years old. It it fast, and still works, but chokes on very large trees. Please consider using the latest version instead (see: {1}, {2}).
