Hello,

Thanks for Jari's comment.
It worked well after correction.
However, an error jumped out for the code below.
"Error: cannot allocate vector of size 90.6 Mb"

Please kindly advise how to modify it.
Thank you.

Code
# Non-Passerine table
dataNP_1 <-read.dbf("H:/temp_D/stage_4_R_2748/NP_1-10.dbf", as.is = FALSE)
dataNP_2 <-read.dbf("H:/temp_D/stage_4_R_2748/NP_11-19.dbf", as.is = FALSE)
dataNP<-merge(dataNP_1,dataNP_2,by=c("GID"),all=T)

.. skip...

# Non-Passerine and Passerine table (2748 species)
dataR<-merge(dataP,dataNP,by=c("GID"),all=T)
dim(dataR)
str(dataR)

library(vegan)

  ##  The  beta sim  index (Lennon 2001)
  d  <-  betadiver(dataR,  "sim")
