You can apply coinertia anlysis on two faunistic tables. In theory, you can
not apply COI on two CA because you need to have common row weights. If you
make two CA, the row weights are different. But, C. ter Braak has break
this statement and will propose a co-corespondence analysis (to be
published in Ecology). In his paper, he includes an appendix to say how to
perform the computation with ADE 4 !!!!!
However, I am not sure that you need to perform two CA. Perhaps two nsca or
pca could be suitable. What are the objectives of your study ? What are the
two tables : same sites with different species or with same species.
