Analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) and non-parametric multivariate analysis of variance (NPMANOVA) results are shown of the three C. panamansis treatments: P = probiotic treatment, C = control treatment, T = transplant treatment. Significant values identified by ANOSIM and NPMANOVA are indicated in bold.
