Table 2.
Symbiodiniaceae signatures (GROUP) of each surveyed coral colony (in rows) from Pocillopora acuta, Porites rus, and Acropora cytherea, based on significant differences in the quantities of their permanent Symbiodiniaceae genera (ANOVA analyses on genus quantity among coral hosts and their corresponding post-hoc Tukey tests p < 0.05). The significant groups discriminated with the Post-hoc Tukey tests are indicated with the following lowercase letters: v, w, x, y, z, i.
