     This set contains two trees extracted from the TreeBASE Database.
      'carnivora.treeshape': 
      This data set describes the phylogenetic relationships of
     carnivora as reported by Bininda-Emonds OR, Gittleman JL, Purvis
     A.. They inferred this phylogeny combining phylogenetic
     information in a supertree construction.
        'primates':
      This data set describes the phylogenetic relationships of the
     primates as reported by Hayasaka K., Gojobori T. and Horai S..
     They inferred this phylogeny from the evolution of mitochondrial
     DNA.
