#' Greater Antillean anolis lizard sexual size dimorphism data
#' 
#' The dataset consists of sexual size-dimorphism data for 38 species of anoles from Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico (Butler, Schoener, and Losos 2000).
#' Each of these species belongs to one of six microhabitat types, or "ecomorphs" (sensu Williams, 1972):
#' trunk-ground, grass-bush, trunk, trunk-crown, twig, and crown-giant.
#' The data were used to demonstrate an evolutionary association between habitat type and degree of sexual size dimorphism.
#' 
#' Size dimorphism was calcuated as the log-ratio of male snout-to-vent length to female snout-to-vent length (males are larger).
#' 
#' In this example, we tested three models of evolution:
#' Brownian motion, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck with one global optimum, and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck with seven optima (one for each ecomorph type plus an additional one for an "unknown" type).
#' 
#' For the seven-optima model, we assigned each terminal branch to an optimum according to the ecomorph type of the extant species.
#' Because we had no information to help guide hypotheses about internal branches, we assigned
#' internal branches to the "unknown" selective regime.
#' The phylogeny of these species is consistent with and adaptive radiation, with a burst of speciation events early in the evolutionary history of this clade (see phylogeny in Butler & King (2004) or example below).
