Hello,

To run a mantel test, the matrices need to be the same size. Dgen in this case, is the distance between populations (not samples). If you have an xy coordinate for each sample, then Dgeo will be much larger than Dgen. If you want to do a mantel test utilizing these distances, you have two options:

1. Calculate Dgen as an individual-based distance.
2. Find the average geographic coordinate for each population and construct Dgeo from those coordinates.

Hope that helps,
Zhian

> I would like to test isolation by distance in my dataset and have tried the following code:

> genfile <- read.genalex(filepath, ploidy=2, geo=TRUE, region=FALSE)   #read file
> toto <- genind2genpop(genfile,miss="0")
> Dgen <- dist.genpop(toto,method=2)

> object.size(Dgen)
> object.size(Dgeo)
> ibd <- mantel.randtest(Dgen,Dgeo)
> ibd

> The data file (genfile) is in a GenAlEx format. However, I get the following error; I think it is related to the size of matrices for Dgen and Dgeo but I am unsure why the sizes would be off, is there something wrong with the code above (I got it from the adegenet tutorials)?
