_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 (Clutch size), age.mat (age at
     maturity (number of months of activity)), clutch.F (clutch
     frequency).
