The Effect of a Sublethal Temperature Elevation on the Structure of Bacterial Communities Associated with the Coral Porites compressa
Figure 3
NMDS ordination of all coral () and seawater () bacterial communities sampled over the course of this study, based on a Bray-Curtis similarity matrix calculated from a square root transformation of the T-RFLP relative abundance data matrix. The dashed line indicates the 20% Bray-Curtis similarity threshold. Seawater samples are represented by squares and coral samples are represented by circles. Control and treatment samples are represented by open and closed symbols, respectively.
