Sequential host-bacteria and bacteria-bacteria interactions determine the microbiome establishment of Nematostella vectensis

Table 1 Statistical analysis of the influence of the inocula and the days post recolonization on the recolonization dynamics calculated for six different distance metrices. The R value hereby represents a ratio of dissimilarities, while the R² value is a measure of the effect size
