I am trying to work on the data of my master thesis. I have to perform statistic analysis but i dont know if i should use on R lm glm or lme.
I have 58 sample points each has two value: altitude and diversity index related to habitat heterogeneity. What I sample are different insects and I have two values: sp = species (total number of different species for each sample point) and ab = abundance (total number of insects for each sample point) the value are the sum of 5 different sampling each sampling has been conducted on a different months. what i want to answer is: are the species richness and the abundance affected by the altitude or the habitat heterogeneity? which is the best analysis to perform? and why?
i have already script in R for all the test I just don't know which is the correct one to perform
thank you for your help.
