You can't - without ripping these particular guts out of vegan, inserting the code from package 'permute', and then hacking adonis to use the new code. That's quite a lot of user-intervention. Not to mention that 'permute' is pre-alpha at the moment and full of bugs... > There is one of my postings in the r forge vegan forum that handles the same > problem with sampling design for beta.disper() and if it turns out that in > both cases the key is permuted.Index2() this thread may be redundant. For the moment, there isn't really a permutation-based solution that works for your problem within vegan and adonis. We are planning on a major update to vegan over the summer to interface vegan's ordination functions with the permutation code in 'permute'. Of course, that is conditional upon me getting 'permute' working well first.
