_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     A simulated data set; the phylogeny is based in Bauwens and
     Daz-Uriarte (1997), such as is included in the file ifsm.pdi (in
     the Examples directory). But the data are all completely
     fictitious and have nothing to do with lacertids (or, for that
     matter, with any other creatures).

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     This data frame contains the following columns:

     _s_i_m._c_o_u_n_t_e_r the simulation counter

     _T_i_p_s the name of tips; it matches those for the lacertid examples
          but, again, is unrelated to those

     _y one numeric variable

     _x_1 another numeric variable

     _x_2 ditto

     _x_3 ditto

     _x_4 ditto

     _x_5 guess what? same thing

     _x_6 again

     _x_7 once more

     _d_i_e_t a factor with fictitious levels 'Carnivore'  'Herbivore' 
          'Ommnivore' 

_S_o_u_r_c_e:

     Bauwens, D., and Daz-Uriarte, R. (1997) Covariation of
     life-history traits in lacertid lizards: a comparative study. _The
     American Naturalist_, *149*, 91-11
