Table 4. The effect of beetle identity and collection locality on fungal community composition evaluated by two complementary nonparametric tests.

Category PERMANOVA (Pseudo-F statistic) PERMANOVA (P-value) ANOSIM (R statistic) ANOSIM (P-value)
Species 12.4569 0.001* 0.6923 0.001*
Locality 4.0961 0.006* 0.0588 0.091
Species+locality 9.9311 0.001* 0.5051 0.001*

Abbreviations: ANOSIM, analysis of similarities; PERMANOVA, permutational multivariate analysis of variance. Beetle species is the strongest predictor of fungal community composition; locality and the interaction between species and locality have less significant effects. Significant P-values are marked with an asterisk.
