Hi Paulo, if your data are distance matrices, you might consider doing a Mantel test, look at the mantel() function in package vegan. While this is not technically measuring spatial autocorrelation, it will test for correlation between the attribute distances and the geographic distances. Also, if you can coax your data back into a point shapefile (for example), you can use the tools in the spdep package which will measure actual spatial autocorrelation (such as Moran's I and Geary's C). Best, Corey
