FIG 2 

Biographical differences in coral-associated bacterial (holobiont) structures of P. speciosa. (A) Study sites in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR, left) and Coral Sea (CS, right). (B) Environmental factors changing with depth and with closer proximity to the coast. (C) Differences in bacterial composition between GBR and CS and between reefs (nMDS, Bray-Curtis; inset, PERMANOVA table). (D) Differences in bacterial abundance between GBR and CS and between reefs (nMDS, Bray-Curtis, data: fourth root transformed, sample standardized by total; inset, PERMANOVA table). Factors are as follows. (i) Region: Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and Coral Sea (CS). (ii) Reef (Region): Great Detached (GBR), Tijou Reef (GBR), Yonge Reef (GBR), Myrmidon Reef (GBR), Osprey 1 (CS), Osprey 2 (CS), Osprey 3 (CS), Holmes Reef (CS), and Flinders Reef (CS). (iii) Depth: 10 m, 20 m, 40 m, and 60 to 80 m. Variation (%) refers to components of variation.
