It does work: > data(varespec) > capscale(varespec ~ Ca + Condition(pH + P), varechem) Call: capscale(formula = varespec ~ Ca + Condition(pH + P), data = varechem) Inertia Rank Total 1826 Conditional 428 2 Constrained 130 1 Unconstrained 1268 20 Inertia is mean squared Euclidean distance Eigenvalues for constrained axes: CAP1 130.0 Eigenvalues for unconstrained axes: MDS1 MDS2 MDS3 MDS4 MDS5 MDS6 MDS7 MDS8 739.77 226.54 89.04 70.61 36.72 30.47 24.77 18.64 (Showed only 8 of all 20 unconstrained eigenvalues) HTH G -- %~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~% Dr. Gavin Simpson [t] +44 (0)20 7679 0522 ECRC, UCL Geography, [f] +44 (0)20 7679 0565 Pearson Building, [e] gavin.simpsonATNOSPAMucl.ac.uk Gower Street, London [w] http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucfagls/ UK.
