Hi,

I am working with a species-by-trait .csv file (columns=traits, rows=species) and get the following warning message when trying to plot results of both metaMDS and pcoa: 

"Warning message:
In ordiplot(x, choices = choices, type = type, display = display,  :
  Species scores not available"

I am using a Gower's transformation in both procedures within the metaMDS or pcoa functions, and I know I am not using something already made into a distance matrix. There is missing trait data for some species, but there must be a way to plot the trait locations/vectors. There has been at least one posting about this in years past but it did not receive a satisfactory response.

Any help would be much appreciated.
