In paternogbc/sensiPhy: Sensitivity Analysis for Comparative Methods

Description

A comparative dataset containing traits for 94 alien mammal species (alien.data) and a multiphylo object with 101 phylogenies matching the data (alien.phy). Tip labels are the binomial species names and match with data rownames. Data was taken from (Gonzalez-Suarez et al. 2015) and phylogenies from (Fritz et al 2009) and (Kuhn et al 2011).

Usage

data(alien)

Format

A data frame with 94 rows and 7 variables:

• family: Taxonomic family

• adultMass: Mean adult body mass (g)

• gestaLen: Mean gestation length (days)

• homeRange: Mean home range (km)

• SE_mass: Standard deviation (intraspecific) for mean adult body mass (g)

• SE_gesta: Standard deviation (intraspecific) for mean gestation length (days)

• SE_range: Standard deviation (intraspecific) for mean home range (km)

A multiphylo containing 101 trees for 94 mammal species.
