Alfredo,

I'd be happy to try to help, but need rather more information.
What version of R, ecodist? What OS?

What do your data look like - str() is very helpful in this regard,
or possibly summary(as.vector(Dx)) and summary(as.vector(Dy)).
What are Dx and Dy? How were the dissimilarities calculated?

Can you provide a reproducible example so that I can see the error
for myself?

With only what you have provided here, there's nothing I or anyone else
can do to assist you.

Sarah
