Fig. 7

The microbiomes of dissected tissues from diseased and healthy sea urchins are different. Alpha diversity is analyzed by A Observed Species, B Chao1, and C ACE. The box plots show the mean and quartile values for each group, which are not significantly different (ANOVA, p > 0.05). D Beta diversity is analyzed at the ASV level using weighted UniFrac. Ellipses around sample groups show 95% confidence intervals assuming a multivariate t-distribution (solid line) and a multivariate normal distribution (dashed line). Groups are not significantly different (PERMANOVA, p > 0.05). Sample name abbreviations are defined in Table 1
