I am working on phylogenetic beta diversity in microbial assemblages across biomes, and interested in calculating betaNTI through the null distribution of betaMNTD by randomizing OTUs across the phylogeny and recalculating bMNTD 999 times. Does anyone have a script for this?
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 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
