I *think* your problem is contained in the help for ?FD, where it says that for a, rows are sites and species are columns.
But you posted in HTML, and didn't use dput() to provide data, so your example is hopelessly mangled. Without a reproducible example that includes some sample data (fake is fine), the code you used, and some clear idea of what output you expect, it's impossible to figure out exactly how to help you. Here are some suggestions for creating a good reproducible example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example Sarah On Wed, Jul 15, 2015 at 9:35 AM, Laura Riggi <laura.ri...@slu.se> wrote: > Dear R community, > > > > I have some trouble with the dbFD function in the FD package. > >> str(a) > > 'data.frame': 150 obs. of 48 variables: > >> str(x) > > 'data.frame': 48 obs. of 9 variables: > > > > ex1 <- dbFD(x,a) > > Error in dbFD(x, a) : > > Species labels in 'x' and 'a' need to be identical and ordered > alphabetically (or simply in the same order). > > > > I have checked multiple time the data set but this message keeps on > appearing.
