Mantel Test
•Evaluates correlation between distance,
similarity, correlation or dissimilarity matrices
•Null: no relationship between matrices
•Pearson correlation (r) can be used to
measure strength of relationship
•r ranges from -1 to 1
Test for Significance
• Evaluates the results from repeated
randomizations
• If randomizations frequently produce a
correlation stronger or as strong as the
original data little evidence that correlation
differs from zero.
• Order of randomization is important
- order of row and columns are shuffled for
one matrix
Randomization cont.
• Mantel’s Z statistic is computed after each
permutations and a distribution is created
• Z statistic from nonrandomized data is compared to the
distribution of the shuffled matrix.
• If null is true, Mantel statistic will fall near the middle of
the reference distribution
• 10,000 randomizations is recommended
• wij = connectivity or Euclidean distance matrix and xij =
dissimilarity or distance matrix

What is really computed?
• Is the relationship between distance
measures not the raw data
When to use
Examples:
• Two groups of organisms form same set of
sample units
• Community structure before and after
disturbance
• Genetic distance and geographic distance
• Ecological distance and geographic
distance
Partial Mantel Test
• Quantifies the relationship between two
matrices while controlling for the effects of
a third one.
Problem with Mantel
• Relationship is a global outcome for all
variables
• Can pick out which variables have the
most influence
• Solution:
Use ordination: CCA and RDA

Mantel Test in R
• ecodist and vegan package
• Both matrix must be identical and contain x and
y coordinates
• Must choose an appropriate distance measure:
- Bray-Curtis
- Manhattan
- Euclidean
- Morisita
- Horn-Morisita
