ordi.breadth: ordi.breadth

In ordiBreadth: Ordinated Diet Breadth

Description

This function calculates ordinated diet breadth

Usage

ordi.breadth(dat, dist.method = "jaccard")

Arguments

dat	A matrix of diet associations. Rows are herbivores and columns are diet items.
dist.method	Dissimilarity index passed on to vegdist in the vegan package.

Value

A list containing the following

species	A vector of the herbivore species names (row names of dat)
eig	The eigen values for each of the PCo axes
tot.breadth	A vector of the raw ordinated host breadth for each species
scaled.breadth	A vector of the scaled ordinated host breadth for each species
distances	A list of vectors giving the distance of each diet item from the centroid of each herbivore
group.vectors	A matrix of logicals indicating diet items (columns) for each herbivore (rows)
centroids.group	A matrix giving the centroid on PCo (columns) for each herbivore (rows)
plants.ord	A matrix of the coordinates for each plant in PCoA space
dist.method	Dissimilarity index used for PCoA
