Fig. 5From: Season, but not symbiont state, drives microbiome structure in the temperate coral Astrangia poculata NMDS visualizations of beta diversity analysis using the Bray–Curtis metric separating samples by collection season. Ellipses represent 95% confidence intervals for coral versus seawater samples (a–d) or for brown versus white colonies (e–h). In each seasonal time point, ANOSIM (boxes within NMDS plots) did not reveal significant dissimilarity between symbiotic state of colonies but did reveal significant dissimilarity between corals and seawaterBack to article page
