WNS, sites, and clusters model redundant variation with UniFrac beta diversity variation among M. lucifugus skin microbiota. Global test for one model redundant variation on microbial community whereas the partial test for the model controlling variation from the other model. ***p ≤ 0.001. Total inertia of response variable matrix is 0.21286 for unweighted UniFrac db-RDA and 0.10555 for weighted UniFrac db-RDA
