Tasmania: Tasmania Dataset

In aPCoA: Covariate Adjusted PCoA Plot

Description

A classic dataset used in the R package mvabund. This is a study on the effects of disturbance from a soldier crab on 56 species of meiobenthos, which are small invertebrates. Eight of the sixteen observations in the data set correspond to crab disturbances. Besides the crab disturbance, there are also four different locations in the study design, where observations from each location are comprised of two disturbed and two undisturbed ones.
