Table 4. K–S measures and taxonomic information for 20 OTUs that best defined the differences in skin bacterial community structure across land use types (Intact and Disturbed Forest).

The K–S measure ranges from 0 to 1, where values closer to one imply a greater difference between the K distributions than values closer to zero. OTUs are listed in order of descending K–S measure. Most OTUs were unclassified at the species level; if species information was available, it is listed along with the genus in the Genus column.
