Table 3. Results of permutational analysis of variance tests indicating if OTU beta diversity measures (Jaccard, Bray–Curtis, or weighted Unifrac) 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.

Pseudo-F test statistics and R2 values are reported.
