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

     This data set describes the phylogeny of 18 lizards as reported by
     Bauwens and Daz-Uriarte (1997). It also gives life-history traits
     corresponding to these 18 species.

_U_s_a_g_e:

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     'lizards' is a list containing the 3 following objects : 

     _t_r_a_i_t_s is a data frame with 18 species and 8 traits.  

     _h_p_r_A is a character string giving the phylogenetic tree
          (hypothesized phylogenetic relationships based on
          immunological distances) in Newick format. 

     _h_p_r_B is a character string giving the phylogenetic tree
          (hypothesized phylogenetic relationships based on
          morphological characteristics) in Newick format.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Variables of 'lizards$traits' are the following ones :  mean.L
     (mean length (mm)), matur.L (length at maturity (mm)),  max.L
     (maximum length (mm)), hatch.L (hatchling length (mm)), hatch.m
     (hatchling mass (g), clutch.S
