Comparison of I. pacificus log-transformed relative abundance OTU data using Euclidean distance among samples show significant separation (PERMANOVA test p-value = 0.001) between geo-locale-defined groups displayed with multidimensional scaling analyses. (A) First two components of PCA of all I. pacificus ticks in the study. (B) NMDS of all I. pacificus ticks using two dimensions. (C) Scree plot of PCA in (A) 22.5% of the variation is explained in the first two dimensions. (D) Stress plot as number of dimensions increased for NMDS, stress at two dimensions (plot B) ∼0.15. Geo-locale and sex are indicated on the upper right key. NMDS, non-metric multidimensional scaling; PCA, principal component analysis.
