change significant figures in adonis in R?

Question

The adonis function in R apparently defaults to 3 sig-figs in the output p-values. Can this be altered such that higher sig-figs are output?

Answer 1

I think looking at p-values to more than three significant digits is a very bad idea. However, adonis already gives you this, for number of permutations other than 999:

# Code
library(vegan)
data(dune)
data(dune.env)
## default test by terms
adonis(dune ~ Management*A1, data = dune.env, permutations = 1000)

# Results
Permutation test for adonis under reduced model
Terms added sequentially (first to last)
Permutation: free
Number of permutations: 1000

Call:
adonis(formula = dune ~ Management * A1, data = dune.env, permutations = 1000) 

Permutation: free
Number of permutations: 1000
