Table 2 Pairwise comparisons of microbial composition within habitats

From: Microbiomes of a specialist caterpillar are consistent across different habitats but also resemble the local soil microbial communities

  1. A negative binomial GLM was used. Multivariate test statistics were calculated using the log-likelihood ratio with 999 iterations via PIT-trap resampling. Significant results (p-value < 0.05) are in bold
  2. Pairwise comparison of bacterial community composition of caterpillars and soil samples in within the three habitats based on the highly abundant ASVs (≥ 0.1% relative abundance)
