Dear list, This is Elaine, a postgraduate studying bird distributions in East Asia. I would like to ask how to generate NMDS graphs with the dot number equal to the site number, using R vegan. I read the vegan manual and copied the example code metaMDS. (The code is as below) However, the resul

Dear List, This is Elaine. I am using metaMDS in package vegan to plot NMDS. However, I want to draw the points using different colors according to island sites. For example: island site 1: island B, C, D => blue island site 2: island A, E, F => green island site 3: island G, H, J => red

Hello, I am running NMDS using metaMDS, based on a matrix. The matrix has rows as islands and columns as species ID. I generated a plot of the result of metaMDS using type="t". However, the island names are mostly covered by species ID and thus become unclear. Please kindly advise any method to

2013-07-17 Thread Elaine Kuo
Dear List, This is Elaine. I am using beta.part to calculate the beta diversity index. The function of beta.part can generate three kinds of beta diversity indice at one time. However, it is Simpson index that I want. The calculation result is composed of three rows and N/A columns (dist class).
