Hi list,

Conducting sort of an opinion poll among list members.
Start with two matrices, one environmental, one species, same sites. I wondered what people think of defining groups by a cluster analysis based on the environmental variables (say, hclust or similar). Then testing for a difference among those groups with regard to the second species data set (say, adonis or mrpp). I guess the spatial people will feel hurt at least? The strategy seems to be quite common, though. Would be nice to hear opinions.

cheers, gabriel
