Parasite community composition of A. alluaudi (nonradiating lineage) differed from all radiation members. Within the radiation (separate analysis), each host species differed from at least five other species in parasite community. Differences are expressed as R values, derived from ANOSIM pairwise comparisons (Benjamini‐Hochberg correction) based on zero‐adjusted Bray–Curtis distances of parasite abundance, 9,999 permutations.
