Table 1.

Beta diversity with respect to experimental, demographic, and mouse variables. Effect sizes and FDR corrected p-values of PERMANOVA tests between Bray-Curtis (Abundance and Activity) or Jaccard (Prevalence) distances and mouse characteristics, added sequentially in the final adonis models. Confounding variables were added sequentially in all models, in the order presented in the table from left to right, variables of interest were added independently in distinct models.
