The distance matrices used for both the Procrustes and the Mantel test measure the differences between the microbiome composition of the different spider mite lines on their host plant (bean, cucumber, or tomato) and the differences between the fecundity, longevity, or both fecundity and longevity at the last time point (150 days). The significant results (p-value lower than 0.05) are visualized in bold. For the microbiome distance table, the unweighted UniFrac was chosen, while for the performance table two different distance measures were used (i.e., Euclidean and Manhattan). The Mantel test was done with 9,999 permutations based on the Pearson method.
