Phylogeny and quantitative traits of birds
This data set describes the phylogeny of 19 birds as reported by Bried et al. (2002). It also gives 6 traits corresponding to these 19 species.
procella is a list containing the 2 following objects:
is a character string giving the phylogenetic tree in Newick format.
is a data frame with 19 species and 6 traits
Variables of procella$traits are the following ones:
- site.fid:
a numeric vector that describes the percentage of site fidelity
-
mate.fid: a numeric vector that describes the percentage of mate fidelity
- mass: an integer vector that describes the adult body weight (g)
- ALE:
a numeric vector that describes the adult life expectancy (years)
- BF: a
numeric vector that describes the breeding frequencies
- col.size: an
integer vector that describes the colony size (no nests monitored)
This dataset replaces the former version in ade4.
