Summary of α-diversity, γ-diversity, intracommunity β-diversity, intercommunity β-diversity (L vs. L), and intercommunity β-diversity (L vs. R) as mean ± SD per phase
| Diversity/phase | Insular I | RC10 | RC50 | RC80 | Insular II |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| α-diversity | 15.87 ± 4.42 | 15.84 ± 2.90 | 15.48 ± 1.71 | 15.52 ± 2.63 | 17.71 ± 3.18* |
| γ-diversity | 39.73 ± 3.17*** | 31.00 ± 3.08 | 22.00 ± 2.73* | 18.80 ± 3.85* | 33.11 ± 3.62 |
| Intracommunity β-diversity | 8.63 ± 4.07 | 8.04 ± 3.65 | 5.56 ± 3.60 | 4.70 ± 2.52 | 10.56 ± 4.86 |
| Intercommunity β-diversity (L vs. L) | 19.58 ± 5.29*** | 13.58 ± 4.09 | 5.43 ± 3.36*** | 2.58 ± 1.65*** | 12.24 ± 5.20 |
| Intercommunity β-diversity (L vs. R) | 17.50 ± 4.23*** | 12.20 ± 3.58** | 6.50 ± 3.03*** | 2.43 ± 1.82*** | 9.73 ± 4.54** |
The mean ± SD values were all calculated among local microbiomes L1–L5 during balanced periods if not stated otherwise. The values marked with asterisks behind the diversity values in these phases were significantly different from those in any other phase. *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001.
