Fig. 1From: Parasite-host ecology: the limited impacts of an intimate enemy on host microbiomesMicrobiomes of feeding scars. a Sampling schematic of scar locations from outplanted corals in our manipulative experiment and natural colonies in the field used for analyses (one-factor test, factor: treatment). b Microbiome composition (beta diversity) of scar samples among treatments. Letters in legend denote significant differences (p < 0.01). c Microbiome variability (beta dispersion) of scar samples among treatments (⍺ = 0.025). d Microbiome alpha diversity of scar samples among treatments (⍺ = 0.025). Analyses were performed following rarefaction (subsampling without replacement) to a uniform sequence count of 8013 sequences per sampleBack to article page
