_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     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.

     'carniherbi49' is a list containing the 5 following objects : 

     _t_a_x_o is a data frame with 49 species and 2 columns : 'fam', a
          factor family with 14 levels   and 'ord', a factor order with
          3 levels.

     _t_r_e_1 is a character string giving the phylogenetic tree in Newick
          format as reported by Garland et al. (1993).      

     _t_r_e_2 is a character string giving the phylogenetic tree in Newick
          format as reported by Garland and Janis (1993).      

     _t_a_b_1 is a data frame with 49 species and 2 traits: 'bodymass'
          (body mass (kg)) and 'homerange' (home range (km)).  

     _t_a_b_2 is a data frame with 49 species and 5 traits: 'clade'
          (dietary with two levels 'Carnivore'  and 'Herbivore'),
          'runningspeed' (maximal sprint running speed (km/h)),
          'bodymass' (body mass (kg)), 'hindlength' (hind limb length
          (cm)) and 'mtfratio' (metatarsal/femur ratio).
