ungulates: Phylogeny and quantitative traits of ungulates.

Description

This data set describes the phylogeny of 18 ungulates as reported by P�labon et al. (1995). It also gives 4 traits corresponding to these 18 species.

Usage

data(ungulates)

source

Data were obtained from P�labon, C., Gaillard, J.M., Loison, A. and Portier, A. (1995) Is sex-biased maternal care limited by total maternal expenditure in polygynous ungulates? Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 37, 311--319.

Details

Variables of ungulates$tab are the following ones : afbw: is a numeric vector that describes the adult female body weight (g) mnw: is a numeric vector that describes the male neonatal weight (g) fnw: is a numeric vector that describes the female neonatal weight (g) ls: is a numeric vector that describes the litter size
