## Phylogeny and quantitative traits of carnivora

### Description

This data set describes the phylogeny of 70 carnivora as reported by Diniz-Filho and Torres (2002). It also gives the geographic range size and body size corresponding to these 70 species.

### Usage

    data(carni70)

### Format

`carni70` is a list containing the 2 following objects :

tre
  is a character string giving the phylogenetic tree in Newick format.
tab
  is a data frame with 70 species and two traits : size (body size (kg)) ; range (geographic range size (km)).

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    data(carni70)
    carni70.phy <- newick2phylog(carni70$tre)
    plot.phylog(carni70.phy)

    size <- scalewt(log(carni70$tab))[,1]
    names(size) <- row.names(carni70$tab)
    symbols.phylog(carni70.phy,size)
    orthogram(size, phylog = carni70.phy)

    yrange <- scalewt(carni70$tab[,2])
    names(yrange) <- row.names(carni70$tab)
    symbols.phylog(carni70.phy,yrange)
    orthogram(yrange, phylog = carni70.phy)

    s.hist(cbind.data.frame(size, yrange), clabel = 0)
