From: Co-habiting amphibian species harbor unique skin bacterial communities in wild populations
Ordination plot. β-Diversity patterns were visualized using a MDS ordination approach with skin-associated bacterial community differences represented as Bray–Curtis distances. The 2D stress (or measure of distortion) in the MDS configuration was relatively low (0.13), so the 2D distance between points in the ordination plot is a good representation of the degree of similarity between each sample's bacterial community. Each point represents the skin bacterial community of an individual amphibian; color indicates species and shape indicates pond location.
