description: The Population and Community Ontology (PCO) describes material entities,
  qualities, and processes related to collections of interacting organisms such as
  populations and communities. It is taxon neutral, and can be used for any species,
  including humans. The classes in the PCO are useful for describing evolutionary
  processes, organismal interactions, and ecological experiments. Practical applications
  of the PCO include community health care, plant pathology, behavioral studies, sociology,
  and ecology.
