Table 1.

ADONIS and ANOSIM analyses of beta diversity at the phylum and Genus levels. ANOSIM analysis revealed a significant change in Beta diversity at the phylum and genus levels for the fiber diet alone. ADONIS analysis also revealed that beta diversity was significantly impacted by the presence of fiber at both levels. NS, non-significant. NA, non-applicable.
