Table 1 The impact of host and environmental factors on fungal alpha diversity in the gut microbiome of the Seychelles warbler (n = 255 individuals). (A) Shannon diversity and (B) observed ASV richness were used as the response variable in two separate models. Estimates and standard errors (SE) are based on linear conditional model-averaged estimates. Significant (P < 0.05) predictors are shown in bold. The reference categories for categorical variables were as follows: female (sex), major (season), and AM (time of day)
