Sites and type model redundant variation with UniFrac beta diversity variation among M. lucifugus skin microbiota and site environmental microbial assemblage. 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 0.21818 for db-RDA unweighted UniFrac and 0.22375 db-RDA weighted UniFrac
