PRIMER v6 is a well-known computer package for analysing multivariate ecological data. This workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to walk through the main features of the PERMANOVA + add-on (developed by Marti Anderson in conjunction with Bob Clarke and Ray Gorley) with a series of real examples to uncover its many features and to experience the freedom to explore, visualise and test complex multivariate hypotheses, all within the PRIMER v6 environment. Bring your own data if you have some that you'd like to ask questions about, as there will be some time to examine sample datasets.
