Hello,
I'm trying to compare the allozyme data from two taxa. I have several
columns of data (19 loci) for each species. I want to do a Mann-Whitney
U-test or the wilcox.test (two sample Wilcoxon). When I try to run my code
(the first two columns are 1:name of the species, 2:name of individual) I
get the error message:
"Error in wilcox.test.default(CaScSc, CaScCo, alternative = "
two.sided", :
'x' must be numeric"
I do have several NAs in the data which is all I can figure that is
non-numeric.
Any suggestions as to the problem? Is it a problem with having several
columns/sets of info for each individual?
Thanks for any help anyone can give (I've also used Arlequin and GDA but
want non-parametric tests)

My code is:
scirconv2 = read.csv("CaScSc070420_2.csv", na.strings="?")
CaScSc = scirconv2[1:250,3:21]
CaScCo = scirconv2[251:475,3:21]
ScCoMWU = wilcox.test(CaScSc, CaScCo, alternative = "two.sided", mu = 0.5,
paired = FALSE, exact = NULL, correct = TRUE,
conf.int = TRUE, conf.level = 0.95)
some of the data:
