Figure 3. Principal components analyses (PCA) of coral bacterial communities.

Figure 3

PCA of (A) bacterial community diversity in Acropora hyacinthus and Stylophora pistillata, (B) A. hyacinthus bacterial community diversity by site, (C) S. pistillata bacterial community diversity by site. Variation in the community structure explained by the first two PCA axes for A, B and C are 36.4%, 30.3% and 33.9%, respectively. (D, E) Species accumulation curves of A. hyacinthus (D) and S. pistillata (E) plotted for all three sites. Dotted lines represent the estimated curve based on an infinite number of samples (UGE) and the solid lines represent species accumulation based on true values (SobS). Species diversity indices (Shannon-Weaver H′) are further shown for each site. Sites: Wistari = Wistari Reef, Tenements = Tenements, Harry's = Harry's Bommie.
