Table 2. Results of generalized linear models indicating if OTU alpha diversity measures (Simpson index, Shannon index, Faith’s Phylogenetic diversity) were similar or different for five variables of interest for individuals sampled during a field survey assessing the diversity of bacterial communities on Eleutherodactylus coqui skin.

The reported test statistics are Chi-Square.
