Evolutionary sequence (time-series) of phenotypic change in diameter in the lineage Stephanodiscus yellowstonensis

Phenotypic data (diameter) from a centric diatom lineage Stephanodiscus yellowstonensis. The time series spans about 14 000 years. The data set contains data on valve diameter (measured in micrometres). The data consists of an object of class paleoTS (diameter_S.yellowstonensis). Objects of class paleoTS can be analyzed in evoTS. The object (trait data set) contains a vector of sample means (mm), sample variances (vv), sample sizes (nn) and sample ages (tt). The oldest sample is listed first. The data spans an interval of 13728 years.

Usage

data(diameter_S.yellowstonensis)

Format

An object of class "paleoTS".
