Maria The variables Araceae,Begoniaceae,Bromeliaceae,Clusiaceae,Cyclanthaceae,Ericaceae,Gesneriaceae, Melastomataceae,Orchidaceae,Piperaceae,Pteridophyta are frequencies (abundances?) of which most are 0 and this is not appropriate as multivariate normal data. There is probably a version of

Dear Maria Judith Carmona Higuita, Since you didn't include enough information (such as your access to your data) to reproduce the error, one can only guess. My guess: you have fewer observations in your data set than response variables on the LHS of the multivariate linear model. I hope this

Dear Judith, I take it from your reply that you have *more* observations than there are response variables in the multivariate linear model, but since you still haven't provided access to the data, it's still impossible to tell what the problem is. I don't follow your application, possibly

Dear John, I am including abundance values ​​in my data set so obviously I have zero abundances. The problem is that if plot only the factors (biomasa, altdosel, altsoto, cobertura, riqarb, elevacion, temperatura, precipitacion) I get the graphic, the same happen when I included only the
