PCoA on Bray-Curtis dissimilarity shows significant separation between species composition from Nunavik, compared to non-industrial (n = 73) and industrial (n = 104) populations. Ellipses represent the barycenter of the sample groups with their 95% confidence interval. PERMANOVA was used to evaluate significance of lifestyle (R2 = 0.06431, p-value = 0.001). Age and sex had a minor effect on the observed variance (age; R2 = 0.00440, p-value = 0.001, sex; R2 = 0.00423, p-value = 0.001). Analysis of Similarities (ANOSIM) demonstrated significant differences between groups based on lifestyle (lifestyle, R = 0.5103, p-value = 0.001; age, R = −0.002, p-value = 0.565; sex, R = 0.028, p-value = 0.01).
