Phylogeny
In order to integrate the phylogeny of the species into our analyses, we used the phylogenetic tree produced by Bininda-Emonds in 2007. It contains a significant number of mammalian species and it is the most complete tree to date (Bininda-Emonds et al. 2007). We checked the presence of our species in this tree with the function “treedata” and we reduced this tree by keeping only the species studied, using the geiger (Pennell et al. 2014) and ape (Paradis & Schliep 2018) libraries in R.
