  1. The overall PERMANOVA statistics are reported at the top. Uncorrected pairwise comparisons are given in the upper right triangle; partial Bonferonni corrected pairwise comparisons are given in the lower left triangle (note: differences in significance between tests reflect corrected α-values, not p-values). Significant results are reported in bold.
