distance matrix with chao-jaccard method
vegan::vegdist() function **has** Chao-Jaccard index (method = ?chao?). In addition, vegan has function chaodist that is similar to designdist(), but uses the Chao terms (U, V) allowing you to define any Chao distance (see ?chaodist for examples). Vegan has these choices, but I don?t endorse them: it?s all up to your responsibility. cheers, Jari Oksanen

The Vegan package does not have this option and the dis.chao function of CommEcol creates a dissimilarity matrix. I hope that you can help find a solution. thanks in advance!
