Comparison of epidermal microbial communities in Bristol Bay and Cook Inlet beluga whales. a PCoA based on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity comparison of the epidermal microbiota. Multivariate normal and t-distributional data ellipses are shown in dotted and solid lines, respectively. b Beta diversity within each regional population, estimated by calculating Bray-Curtis dissimilarity between individual microbial communities within populations. c Proportional abundances of top 20 ASVs, organized by phylum, found on individual whales in Bristol Bay and Cook Inlet
