Hi, Yes, but is there no way of testing for the main effects and interaction simultaneously?
I also thought of first testing the interaction: adonis2(speciesdataset~ A *** B, by="margin") , and then - if the interaction is not significant- testing for the main effects by adonis2(speciesdataset~ A *+* B, by="margin") . Is this "allowed"?
