Table 2. Differences in Symbiodinium communities within and between shores.
Mean overall, within-shore (‘within’), and between-shore (‘between’) Bray–Curtis dissimilarities of the Symbiodinium communities in each host species, and PERMANOVA tests (partial R2 and p-values) for a difference between shores. Between-shore tests were not possible for O. annularis and P. astreoides since they were only sampled from one shore.
