Dear Basil,
You are describing a non-parametric bootstrap procedure. There is
nothing wrong with what you are doing, but the approach you are taking
to extract/plot the smooth terms is a little too simplistic and hence
you've hit a brick wall.
To bootstrap multiple terms, I would have my
As implemented in the literature, Bray-Curtis dissimilarity measures are used
to look at pairwise comparisons. So, how dissimilar are 2 plots in their
composition, for example.
I'm wondering if anyone has run across or implemented a method to look at BC
dissimilarity or otherwise that has two

I really do not understand what you try to do and what properties you expect
your measure to have. However, Baselga (Global Ecol Biogeog 19, 134-143; 2010)
has proposed multiple site Sørensen (= Bray-Curtis for presence/absence) and
Jaccard indices, and they are implemented as
