Many users of the mantel test use that statistic and erroneously interpret it as if it were equivalent to an r 2 computed by regression on the raw data. The partial mantel test is a firstorder correlation analysis that utilizes three distance dissimilarity matrices. Although the partial mantel test is often used to account for the effects of space, the assumption of linearity greatly reduces its effectiveness for complex spatial patterns.
