dist.topo

This function computes the topological distance between two
  phylogenetic trees using the formula in Nei and Kumar (2000).

manip

Ape provides functions for reading, writing, plotting,
  and manipulating phylogenetic trees, analyses of comparative data
  in a phylogenetic framework, analyses of diversification and
  macroevolution, computing distances from allelic and nucleotide
  data, reading nucleotide sequences, and several tools such as
  Mantel's test, computation of minimum spanning tree, the population
  parameter theta based on various approaches, nucleotide diversity,
  generalized skyline plots, estimation of absolute evolutionary rates
  and clock-like trees using non-parametric rate smoothing, conversion
  of APE trees to and from hclust objects and for classifying genes in
  trees using the Klastorin-Misawa-Tajima approach.

Topological Distances Between Two Trees

ape provides functions for reading, writing, plotting, and manipulating phylogenetic trees, analyses of comparative data in a phylogenetic framework, ancestral character analyses, analyses of diversification and macroevolution, computing distances from allelic and nucleotide data, reading and writing nucleotide sequences, and several tools such as Mantel's test, minimum spanning tree, generalized skyline plots, graphical exploration of phylogenetic data (alex, trex, kronoviz), estimation of absolute evolutionary rates and clock-like trees using mean path lengths and penalized likelihood. Phylogeny estimation can be done with the NJ, BIONJ, ME, MVR, SDM, and triangle methods, and several methods handling incomplete distance matrices (NJ*, BIONJ*, MVR*, and the corresponding triangle method). Some functions call external applications (PhyML, Clustal, T-Coffee, Muscle) whose results are returned into R.
