Tropheus: Tropheus dataset

In vcvComp: Comparison of Variance - Covariance Patterns

Description

A data frame of 723 observations of 57 variables extracted from a freely available dataset, downloaded from the Dryad digital repository (https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.fc02f). The observations correspond to cichlid fishes of the species Tropheus moorii (color morphs 'Kaiser' and 'Kirschfleck') and T. polli collected from eight locations of Lake Tanganyika (Kerschbaumer et al., 2014). The main numerical variables provided are the 2D Cartesian coordinates of 19 landmarks quantifying the external body morphology of adult fishes and the genotypes for 6 microsatellite markers.
