Binu, I think that the R package "Picante" (http://picante.r-forge.r-project.org/) could serve your needs. Hope it helps.

Thanks a lot Dr. Jones~!!!

I came across to this interesting book and just want to share here:

"Functional and Phylogenetic Ecology in R".

Dear Dr. Jones and Binu Mani Tripathi ,  how do you calculate Beta NTI in R package "Picante"?  When I check the  "Picante"package, I can not find the script In R for the Beta NTI. (I can find script for the Beta MNTD but not the Beta NTI )

Dear Xiong Wu, you are right, you can not calculate betaNTI in 'Picante' package. Please follow the book (Functional and Phylogenetic Ecology in R) I have suggested above or you can also use Phylocom to calculate it in.

Hope this help.

Best,

Binu

Dear Binu,
