Table 2.

Bacterial families that entered in the four Bray-Curtis best models (Model 1: r = 0.954, Model 2: r = 0.959, Model 3: r = 0.959, Model 4: r = 0.955) or in the four Jaccard best subject models (Model 1: r = 0.955, Model 2: r = 0.952, Model 3: r = 0.952, Model 4: r = 0.952). Mean values of abundance ± standard error (SE) of families that entered in Bray-Curtis best subset models of samples from adult cuckoos and from cuckoo and magpie nestlings are provided, as well as the results from comparisons (ANOVAs) between the three types of samples. Similarly, prevalence (%) of families that entered in the Jaccard best subset models are shown for samples from adult cuckoos and from cuckoo and magpie nestlings, as well as the results from comparisons (Pearson χ²) between the three types of samples.
