procella: Phylogeny and quantitative traits of birds

Description

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.

Usage

data(procella)

Details

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)
