PERMANOVA Results of Microbial Taxa Identified as Differentially Abundant Between Mountain and Western Lowland Gorillas.
| Comparison | Jaccard | Aitchison | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R 2 | P | R 2 | P | |
| Mountain versus low-altitude Grauer's | 0.220 | 0.002 | 0.222 | 0.003 |
| Mountain versus high-altitude Grauer's | 0.095 | 0.052 | 0.078 | 0.159 |
| Western lowland versus low-altitude Grauer's | 0.077 | 0.335 | 0.059 | 0.536 |
| Western lowland versus high-altitude Grauer's | 0.211 | 0.003 | 0.283 | 0.004 |
| Low-altitude Grauer's versus high-altitude Grauer's | 0.243 | 0.002 | 0.246 | 0.006 |
We report the PERMANOVA results using both Jaccard (reflecting presence–absence of taxa) and Aitchison (reflecting relative abundance of taxa) distances. Corrected P values below 0.05 are shown in bold.
