Table 1. The results of the db-RDA analysis of PCoA scores showing (a) the effect of ecotype, stream and their interaction on bacterial community composition from the 2010 field survey and (b) the effect of ecotype, diet and their interaction of bacterial community composition from the dietary manipulation study.
