Gut bacterial communities showed moderately significant variation among calving/socialising locations (PERMANOVA: F = 2.1; p = 0.030), with pairwise tests showing that whales from Fowlers Bay harboured distinct microbiomes compared to those at Algoa Bay ( p = 0.029) and the Auckland Islands ( p = 0.048).
