RSiteSearch("mantel statistic") produced 27 hits for me, but the 
first few suggested I might not find enlightenment there. 
RSiteSearch("spatial statistics") returned 1064 hits, so I restricted 
that to RSiteSearch("spatial statistics", "functions").  The first of 
those was a director for the 'spdep' package.  A search for "Mantel" on 
that page identified "plot.mc.sim:  Mantel-Hubert spatial general cross 
product statistic".  I haven't tried it.  I know nothing more about it 
than what I've already told you.

          I hope you'll forgive the terrible pun if I say that I hope I not 
only gave you a fish, I showed you how I caught it.

          Best Wishes,
          Spencer Graves

longitude, fish eggs) and (latitude, longitude,
fish larvae) at the same 280 stations (i.e. 280
cases). I want to determine if the 2 datasets
are spatially correlated. In other words, do
high numbers of larvae occur where there are
high numbers of eggs? I would like to calculate
the cross correlation for these bivariate data
and calculate a Mantel statistic as described
on pg. 147 of Fortin and Dale 2005 "Spatial
analysis".
