Table 1. PERMANOVA analysis (9,999 permutations) comparing the five zones surveyed using Jaccard index.

PERMDISP probabilities for homogeneity of dispersion are also shown. Pairwise tests for levels of the factor Zone are presented with uncorrected P-values. Significant values after FDR correction are indicated with an asterisk. The symbol § denotes comparisons for which PERMDISP detected a significant heterogeneity of dispersion.
