Figure 6.

Box plots of the chemomarkers annotated in Lobophora sonderii responsible for metabolomic differences according to the substrate of transplantation (LC: living coral, DC: dead coral and SB: seaweed bed. All time points (t0, t7 and t14) are included). Ion intensities of chemomarkers are expressed as mean normalized intensities ± SD (log-transformed data, n_LC = 8, n_DC = 11, n_SB = 23). Statistical analyses were performed using Kruskal-Wallis (KW) followed by post-hoc Conover’s test. Letters indicate distinct groupings based on post-hoc pairwise comparisons among transplantation conditions for each chemomarker (p < 0.05).
