Fig. 3: Microbiome beta-diversity.

The data are plotted across (a) Principal components (PC) 4 and 5 colored by genet (b) PC 2 and 3 colored by coral reefs, and (c) PC6 and PC7 colored by months. Figures a-c were centered log-ratio (CLR) transformed and plotted with a Euclidean distance, and ellipses represent 95% confidence intervals. d Redundancy analysis (RDA) with CLR transformed data. The RDA was constrained by currents, depth, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silica, and sea surface temperature (SST), colored by months, and shapes representing coral reefs.
