Table 2 PERMANOVA analysis of fungal gut microbiome communities in the Seychelles warbler. Euclidean distances were calculated based on centred log ratio (CLR)-transformed amplicon sequencing variant (ASV) abundances. Significant predictors (P < 0.05) are shown in bold. The analysis included 255 individuals
