Getting the examples

The installation and subsequent run of Help>Get Examples V7 will have placed a number of sub-directories (BC zooplankton, Bermuda benthos, …, Wrasse diets) into the \Examples v7 directory, placed in a location which you have chosen. Throughout this manual it is assumed (for brevity) that the Examples v7 directory has been placed at the top level, i.e. the folder is C:\Examples v7. The various sub-directories contain the faunal matrices and, for some sets, the matching environmental data and taxonomy, for most of the case studies described in the Methods manual (CiMC: ‘Change in Marine Communities’, 3rd edition, 2014), and all the data sets in this manual. Check this by making sure you can find the directory \Examples v7\Fal benthic fauna, of the soft-sediment core samples of biota and matching environmental data for 27 sites from 5 creeks of the Fal estuary, subject to different levels of heavy metal contamination. That directory contains files such as Fal copepod counts.pri and Fal copepod taxonomy.agg, with similar files also for macrofauna and for the meiofaunal nematodes, all in internal binary PRIMER 7 format, and Fal environment.xls, an Excel sheet of variables $\times$ samples (though this could equally well be of samples $\times$ variables).
