lizards: Phylogeny and quantitative traits of lizards

Description

This data set describes the phylogeny of 18 lizards as reported by Bauwens and D'iaz-Uriarte (1997). It also gives life-history traits corresponding to these 18 species.

Usage

data(lizards)

Details

Variables of lizards$traits are the following ones : mean.L (mean length (mm)), matur.L (length at maturity (mm)), max.L (maximum length (mm)), hatch.L (hatchling length (mm)), hatch.m (hatchling mass (g)), clutch.S (Clutch size), age.mat (age at maturity (number of months of activity)), clutch.F (clutch frequency).
