[R-sig-Geo] FANTER analysis with abundance data

[basille at ase-research.org]

Dear Carolina,

Please update to the new version of the package (adehabitatHS), which now 
uses sp spatial classes. The example now shows:

Dp <- slot(count.points(locs,map), "data")[,1]

which is exactly comparable to your spreadsheet. If you can associate each 
row of the weight table to the corresponding row (pixel) of the 
environmental variables, you're done.

Hope this helps,
Mathieu.
