Adonis: Partitions a distance matrix among sources of variation in order to describe the strength and significance that a categorical or continuous variable has in determining variation of distances (http://qiime.org/scripts/compare_categories.html). Here, the variables include sampling time, type, and temperature. (1) All samples: All 47 samples were used in the analysis. (2) Stomach: Only the samples from the stomach were used in analysis. (3) Gut: Only the samples from the gut were used in analysis.
