Constrained Analysis of Principal coordinates (CAP) analysis. The ordination of the data from the beta-diversity metrics for (A) Post-housing-treatment samples, with cohoused animals shown in red and isolated animals shown in green; (B) Isolated animals only, with pre-housing-manipulation samples shown in green and post-housing-manipulation samples shown in red; (C) Cohoused animals only with the same data point color scheme as in (B). For all ordinations, the most parsimonious model formed is shown, with the p value of the model, and the proportion of inertia (variation) explained by constrained variables. CAP1 and CAP2 are the two greatest contributing components of the constrained variables.
