Table 4. Statistical analysis between means of predominant species incidences (Hu: H. uvarum, Sb: S. bacillaris, Ih: I. hanoiensis, Pt: P. terricola) and between means of biodiversity indices (H: Shannon index, Eh: equitability index) on each island (SMA: Santa Maria, SMG: São Miguel, TRC: Terceira, PIC: Pico, FAL: Faial, SJG: São Jorge), for comparison of yeast biota between sampling years.

Number of stars correspond to p values equal to 0.05 (*), 0.01 (**) and 0.001 (***).
