a

PERMANOVA, permutational multivariate analysis of variance.

b

PERMDISP, test for homogeneity of multivariate dispersions.

c

DEICODE, robust Aitchison principal component analysis (RPCA) to determine which taxa strongly influence clustering. A boldface P value or q-value is statistically significant (P < 0.05).

d

q-values derived from pairwise testing and represent the false discovery rate (FDR) analog of a P value.
