Summary of phylosymbiosis test statistics using Robinson–Foulds and matching cluster methods on rarefaction-based and microbial density-corrected distance matrices. Both of these approaches produce a normalized score between 0 (complete congruence) and 1 (complete incongruence). p-values were determined by the probability of 100 000 randomized dendrogram topologies yielding equivalent or more congruent phylosymbiotic patterns than the actual microbiota dendrogram. *p < 0.05; **0.05 ≤ p < 0.1.
