highly significantP < 0.01
There were no significant changes in dispersion within each site during the experiment (Raffles, F = 2.5395, P = 0.144; Kusu, F = 1.8881, P = 0.556); however, dispersion was higher for Resident Raffles and Transplant KR samples, compared with the Resident Kusu or Transplant RK samples (Table S3 ). There were 27 Bacterial ASVs and 1 Archaeal ASV identified as highly significant ( P < 0.01) based on the GLM in driving the differences among resident and transplanted corals and occurring with a mean relative abundance of ≥ 0.1% in at least one of the four treatment groups (Table 3 ).
