Table A4.
Beta diversity results for Blastocystis positive (B+) voles compared with negative (B-) voles. Diversity was measured using Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index with Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance Using Distance Matrices (PERMANOVA). No significant results were identified (p < 0.05).
