carniherbi49: Taxonomy, phylogenies and quantitative traits of carnivora and herbivora

Description

This data set describes the taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of 49 carnivora and herbivora species as reported by Garland and Janis (1993) and Garland et al. (1993). It also gives seven traits corresponding to these 49 species.

Usage

data(carniherbi49)
