Two R libraries (packages) that deal with multivariate ecological statistics that complement each other quite well are "VEGAN" and "LABDSV" written by Jari Oksanen and Dave Roberts, respectively. If you Google their web sites, you'll find some very useful tutorials as well. They both depend on the package "MASS" which is included in the base installation. Other than that, most univariate techniques are available in the base package "STATS" and the R-project web site has tutorials for those. Library "NLME" does mixed models if you need to go that route.
