Description

This data set describes the phylogeny of 66 amazonian palm trees. It also gives 7 traits corresponding to these 66 species.

Usage

data(palm)

Format

palm is a list containing the 2 following objects:

tre

is a character string giving the phylogenetic tree in Newick format.

traits

is a data frame with 66 species (rows) and 7 traits (columns).

Details

Variables of palm$traits are the following ones:
rord: specific richness with five ordered levels
h: height in meter (squared transform)
dqual: diameter at breast height in centimeter with five levels sout : subterranean, d1(0, 5 cm), d2(5, 15 cm), d3(15, 30 cm) and d4(30, 100 cm)
vfruit: fruit volume in mm^3 (logged transform)
vgrain: seed volume in mm^3 (logged transform)
aire: spatial distribution area (km^2)
alti: maximum altitude in meter (logged transform)
