phyllostomid {mvMORPH}

Phylogeny and trait data for a sample of Phyllostomid bats

Description

Phylogeny, diet, and morphological variables for 49 species of Phyllostomid bats.

Usage

data("phyllostomid")

Details

Illustrative phylogeny (phyllostomid$tree) and morphological data (phyllostomid$mandible - 73 variables composed of the superimposed procrustes 2D-coordinates for the mandible and the condylobasal length) of 49 species of Phyllostomid bats from Monteiro & Nogueira (2011). The firsts 22 coordinates represent anatomical landmarks and the last 50 coordinates are semilandmarks.

The four grouping factor variables (e.g., phyllostomid$grp1, phyllostomid$grp2, ...) are the adaptive regime models for association between mandible morphology and diet considered in Monteiro & Nogueira (2011).
