fission

Fission pattern and heritable morphological traits


Description

This data set contains the mean values of five highly heritable linear combinations of cranial metric (GM1-GM3) and non metric (GN1-GN2) for 8 social groups of Rhesus Macaques on Cayo Santiago. It also describes the fission tree depicting the historical phyletic relationships.

Usage

data(fission)

Format

tre

is a character string giving the fission tree in Newick format.

tab

is a data frame with 8 social groups and five traits : cranial metrics (GM1, GM2, GM3) and cranial non metrics (GN1, GN2)
