Table 2.
PERMANOVA of the environmental drivers of Bray–Curtis dissimilarities among Symbiodiniaceae communities in M. capitata among Kāne’ohe Bay sites. Relative contribution was calculated as the sum square of each environmental factor divided by the sum of all environmental sum squares. Environmental factors explain 21% of Symbiodiniaceae variation.
