Sampling locality is more detectable than taxonomy or ecology in the gut microbiota of the brood-parasitic Brown-headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater).

Independent Adonis tests for significance of class, order and diet categories revealed highly significant associations ( p < 0.01) between the gut microbiota and all three variables ( Table 3 ), except for diet and the weighted UniFrac distance matrix, which was not significant ( p = 0.206).
