treebase: Phylogenetic trees from the TreeBASE database

Description

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.
