Arguments

traits: Individual Matrix of traits with traits in columns. "traits" matrix must have row names (e.g. species or populationnal names).
com: Community data matrix with species in rows and sites in column.
type.sp.val: Either "count" or "abundance". Use abundance when all values in the com matrix are not superior to one. Using abundance is EXPERIMENTAL. This function round abundance to fit count data.
