taxodist: Taxonomic Distance and Phylogenetic Lineage Computation
Computes phylogenetic distances between any two taxa using
hierarchical lineage data retrieved from The Taxonomicon
<http://taxonomicon.taxonomy.nl>, a comprehensive curated classification
of all life based on Systema Naturae 2000 (Brands, 1989
<http://taxonomicon.taxonomy.nl>). Given any two taxon names, retrieves
their full lineages, identifies the most recent common ancestor (MRCA),
and computes a dissimilarity index based on the depth of the most recent
common ancestor. Supports individual distance queries, pairwise distance
matrices, clade filtering, and lineage utilities.
