Hi all,

Sorry for bothering you!  
When I prepared for a manuscript about variance partitioning of stream 
community data, I cited a wonderful paper
(Peres-Neto, P.R., et al. 2006 Variation partitioning of species data matrices: 
estimation and comparison of fractions. Ecology 87(10):2614-2625.), and the 
"adjusted R square" helps me much. 
However, I realized that they conducted a bootstrap test for fractions, and the 
authors mentioned that the proportions of variation explained by each do not 
differ significantly from each other (P=0.4865, see Figure 6).  At first, I did 
not know how to finish this procedure, therefore I asked for Google.  After the 
visiting, I recognized that  they used the MATLAB, and a related function has 
also been given (http://www.esapubs.org/archive/ecol/E087/158/suppl-2.htm).  
Unfortunately, I'm green to the MATLAB, but I use R usually.  

My question is: how can I do this in R?  If it is possible, could anyone please 
give me some hints (i.e., the corresponding R code for running this).  

Thank you in advance for you time and consideration, and I apologize for any 
inconveninece that I brought. 

Have a nice day!

Yong
