^aMutiple response permutation procedure, a nonparametric procedure that does not depend on assumptions such as normally distributed data or homogeneous variances, but rather depends on the internal variability of the data. ^bNon-parametric multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) with the adonis function. ^cAnalysis of similarities. All three tests are non-parametric multivariate analyses based on dissimilarities among samples.The significant (p < 0.05) differences are indicated in bold and “*.”
