Microbiomes of scar, basal, & distal locations on natural colonies with snail feeding. a Sampling schematic of locations from natural coral colonies that were subjected to snail feeding used for analyses (one-factor test, factor: treatment). b Microbiome composition (beta diversity) of samples by location. Letters in legend denote significant differences (p < 0.01). c Microbiome variability (beta dispersion) of samples by location. d Microbiome alpha diversity of samples by location. Letters in legend denote significant differences (p < 0.01). Analyses were performed following rarefaction (subsampling without replacement) to a uniform sequence count of 8013 sequences per sample
