Table 3 The influence of MHC diversity on fungal gut microbiome beta diversity in the Seychelles warbler. Based on a PERMANOVA analysis of Euclidean distances, calculated using centred log ratio (CLR)-transformed amplicon sequencing variant (ASV) abundances. Significant predictors (P < 0.05) are shown in bold. The analysis included 189 individuals
