I would normally do that with data.table, much more elegant and easier to read. I wanted to avoid adding that extra dependency.
Why is two lines of code v. a compound line of code worth worrying about here?
It's not the two lines of code it's the two separate outputs that take up space that I am trying to trim down.

Also, could we replace this inelegant programming which is wasteful in space: plyr::ddply(prevdf, "Phylum", function(df1){mean(df1$Prevalence)}) plyr::ddply(prevdf, "Phylum", function(df1){sum(df1$Prevalence)})
with something that produces just one output with the two columns (pipe challenge maybe here?)
