Table 1.

Alpha diversity indexes for each A. cauliformis sponge. # ASVs = total number of ASVs; Shannon = Shannon diversity index; Faith's PD = Faith's phylogenetic diversity; H = healthy individuals and D = ARBS-affected individuals. P values less than 0.05 are in bold for comparisons between healthy and diseased sponges.
