## Taxonomy, phylogenies and quantitative traits of carnivora and herbivora

### Description

This data set describes the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of 49 carnivora and herbivora species as reported by Garland and Janis (1993) and Garland et al. (1993). It also gives seven traits corresponding to these 49 species.

### Usage

    data(carniherbi49)

### Format

`carniherbi49` is a list containing the 5 following objects :

taxo

  is a data frame with 49 species and 2 columns : 'fam', a factor family with 14 levels and 'ord', a factor order with 3 levels.

tre1

  is a character string giving the phylogenetic tree in Newick format as reported by Garland et al. (1993).

tre2

  is a character string giving the phylogenetic tree in Newick format as reported by Garland and Janis (1993).

tab1

  is a data frame with 49 species and 2 traits: 'bodymass' (body mass (kg)) and 'homerange' (home range (km)).

tab2

  is a data frame with 49 species and 5 traits: 'clade' (dietary with two levels `Carnivore` and `Herbivore`), 'runningspeed' (maximal sprint running speed (km/h)), 'bodymass' (body mass (kg)), 'hindlength' (hind limb length (cm)) and 'mtfratio' (metatarsal/femur ratio).

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    data(carniherbi49)
    par(mfrow=c(1,3))
    plot(newick2phylog(carniherbi49$tre1), clabel.leaves = 0,
     f.phylog = 2, sub ="article 1")
    plot(newick2phylog(carniherbi49$tre2), clabel.leaves = 0,
     f.phylog = 2, sub = "article 2")
    taxo <- as.taxo(carniherbi49$taxo)
    plot(taxo2phylog(taxo), clabel.nodes = 1.2, clabel.leaves = 1.2)
    par(mfrow = c(1,1))
