The dataset consists of sexual size-dimorphism data for 38 species of anoles from Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico (Butler, Schoener, and Losos 2000). Each of these species belongs to one of six microhabitat types, or “ecomorphs” (sensu Williams, 1972): trunk-ground, grass-bush, trunk, trunk-crown, twig, and crown-giant. The data were used to demonstrate an evolutionary association between habitat type and degree of sexual size dimorphism.
ape2ouch
(Package: ouch) :
Convert an "ape" tree to an "ouch" tree.
ape2ouch translates ape's phylo representation of a phylogenetic tree into ouch's ouchtree representation. The user can change the branch lengths while preserving the topology.
This is the Anolis bimaculatus dataset used in Butler & King (2004). It is used to test a hypothesis of character displacement using an interspecific dataset of body sizes and current data on sympatry/allopatry. The data frame consists of the following columns: species which are species names, size which is the phenotypic data, and the variables ancestor and time which specify the topology of the phylogeny and the location of the nodes in time, respectively. The columns OU.1, OU.3, OU.4, and OU.LP specify four hypothetical arrangements of selective regimes. Explanations of the data are given below.
