PERMANOVAs based on BC similarity measure for square-root transformed relative abundances or Jaccard similarity measure (composition) of bacterial TRFs on Phyllospora in the second experiment from the point of view of the origin.

Pairwise tests PB: TP–CB ≠ TP–LB ≠ TL ≠ U
Cr: TP–CB ≠ TL ≠ U
    TP–LB ≠ TP–CB ≠ TL
    U = TP–LB

    U = TP–LB

Treatment was fixed with four levels (U, Undisturbed; TL, Translocated; TP–CB, Transplanted to Cape Banks; TP–LB, Transplanted to Long Bay), Place of origin was random with two levels (Cr, Cronulla; PB, Palm Beach). The replicates were the Phyllospora individuals (n = 5). P-values were calculated using 9,999 permutations under a reduced model. Bold indicates statistical significance (at alpha = 0.005).
